Dear Postcrosser,

Currently I am a college student with career goals aimed at Journalism and Freelance Writing. My dream is to travel and write. I want to explore other cultures and live the experience. One of my biggest loves is art. I minor in Art History and I believe the world needs more art. An image, a sculpture, a picture, has a way of communicating beyond language barriers.

My main hobbies are reading, knitting and karate. I also love to write. With this statement, I'd like to warn all recipients that I will send my postcards in an envelope or covered because I will write a letter in attachment to the postcard. One of my personal projects is to handwrite 5000 letters, no deadline. This started July 2, 2009. At the moment, I am close to my 1000th-letter milestone and I plan to celebrate with a letter-writing party at IHOP. Waffles, writing and friends. What more do I need? =)

I prefer to receive postcards with some personal writing on the back. Maybe something about the person's day or the person's five favourite ________. I've been dissatisfied with some "Hi, Bye," comments and it feels like the sender is more about collecting postcards than giving any thought to the snail mail. I'm not here on the merit of materialism. I'm here to learn what a textbook cannot teach me about humanity, even a small sliver.

Thank you.

Sipping on strawberry tea,
