About pierrev...

[Updated May 2012]

My name is Pierre. I have been a lawyer for 13 years. My wife Louise is also a Postcrosser.

I like to travel - especially to places with interesting physical geography, places that are off the beaten path, or places that offer skiing! Places I've been: Canada, U.S.A., Iceland, Scotland, England, Wales, Norway, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Spain, Portugal, Morocco. I agree with the saying that "travel is fatal to ignorance"!

I enjoy playing all sports, especially ice hockey, curling, alpine skiing and soccer (football). I'm also a big fan of the Olympic Games.

I really enjoy music. When I'm not playing it myself, some of my favourite bands are The Beatles, Crowded House, Raspberries and Ozomatli. I've recently enjoyed concerts by Paul Simon and Johnny Clegg and quite enjoy the music of South Africa.

The cards I mark as "Favourites" are ones that I don't have yet, so my "Favourites" page might give you some ideas. I seem to like winter, the mountains, night views, and bright colours. If you think a postcard would attract tourists to your city or country, I'll probably like it.

[If possible, I would prefer not to receive ad, cartoon, free, or children's cards.]

I also try to write a lot of words on the back of my postcards and I hope you will too. Interesting stamps are fun as well.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Sweden, Finland and Estonia in the summer of 2012. We look forward to receiving travel advice on these countries! But we also like hearing about other countries that we have not yet visited, to give us ideas for future holidays.

Ja, mijn vader is van Nederland...und meine Mutter kommt aus der Schweiz!

[A note about direct swaps: I have been receiving a lot of requests, which is great...but unfortunately I can't keep up with all of them right now! I already have a number of great ongoing swaps and I want to make sure that I still have the time to send those friends nice postcards. If you are already swapping with me, no need to worry! Hopefully, I will be able to do some new direct swaps again in the near future.]
