Greetings from Ireland. My parents came from Hong Kong in the early 80s to start a family in Ireland. I'm a Jack of all trades, master of none kind of guy. A graphic designer, web developer, radio producer, and sound technician to name a few.

Last summer I was let go from my job in radio and realised I had no hobbies. I wanted to collect watches but quickly realised how expensive it could get. I have always wanted to travel but finances were never my strong suit. Photography could be an avenue down the line.

I randomly stumbled on a video about postcards with the same sky and I went down the rabbit hole. I just started my collection with a bunch of typical tourist postcards from gift shops but found a thrift store with vintage postcards, stamps, coins, etc. and purchased a few vintages. I have ordered so many sets and as they arrived I realised how much I've been spending and need to relax a bit.

I really like stamps and Illustrated vintage travel postcards. My interests range from:

- Art
- City views
- Buildings
- Bridges
- Landscapes
- Maps
- History
- Greetings from...
- Trucks, trains, cars

Since August, I got hired back at my job so I see it as a nice two month break where found some amazing hobbies. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile and looking forward to hearing from you. Happy Postcrossing!
