About Darío...

Hi,

I'm a 40 years old Dominican guy that just loves the idea of sending postcards. If you don't know anything about the Dominican Republic, please do some search on Wikipedia or Google and you surely will find a very weird mix of facts. We have magnificent beachers and nice mountains, and also we're a very poor country struggled by political corruption and disorder in many ways. But we are know to be the happiest people in the World (prove me wrong if you can). We have a fragile health system, but we manage to make a party every night in any corner. We have almost no good schools but again our kids will enchant you with their wide and sincere smiles. We might have no permanent electricity (yeah, in 2008 we still have blackouts everyday) but we will find a way to hear merengue and dance at the first chance. Yes, we dance alot!

My country is known by its wonderful nice beaches, and that's probably the most obvious postcard theme. But we have also other good things to share. Like being the first place were Europeans built a city, having the first Cathedral in America, the first University, the first road, the first fortress... America begins in my country!

So, being a Dominican and joining this website means for me a great opportunity to share my country with the World thru postcards.

But again, I also love to receive postcards from anywhere in the planet. Feel free to send me any postcard from your country. I trully appreciate the non-typical kind of postcard, the one kind that depicts the sociological aspect of your country and its traditions. Do you have farmers? That's a great idea for me. Do you have cowboys? Send them too. But again, I'll be happy to receive just any kind of postcard.

Feel free to write in any language you speak (please do!) but if possible, try to translate to English, Spanish or Portuguese so I will understand your words. If you want to swap postcards, I'm happy to do so as well.

Thanks for reading!!
