About richardlater...

I live in British Columbia, in the suburbs just east of Vancouver. I work in non-profit financial management.

I like tourist postcards the most, though any kind of card is okay. I do prefer that the postage be properly paid (not too much postage, not too little). I collect all kinds of stamps, but am especially interested in Christmas/New Years or Olympic stamps. If you are able to use such stamps on your card to me, that would be most appreciated (though I am aware that some countries don't issue such stamps). Also, please don't place your card in an envelope.

When my schedule permits, I try to post the cards I send at a post office that allows me to use their hand canceling device. That way I can offer a clear readable postmark. I find this preferable to the (usually) non-readable spray-on machine postmark that Canada Post has saddled us with. I may also sometimes post cards from the United States, which is not too far from my home.

Direct swaps are cool, and I am most interested in exchanging cards with a member in Mexico.
