Blog > Postcrossing Spotlight: DanielD from Uruguay

  icon

Daniel 46 y.o. from Montevideo, Uruguay, discovered Postcrossing in 2007 in a local newspaper. The postcards help him discover our wonderful world and he treasures his “postfriends”.

How did you come across Postcrossing? What got you hooked?

I, a true tiger and Sagittarius, passionate reader and traveler, read about the Postcrossing project in the June 2007 issue of El Observador, a local newspaper. I saw the immediate possibility of increasing the exchange of postcards with new and far away friends.

Although all postcards are good, advertising postcards caught my attention because they let me know all about this wonderful world. Postcrossing opened a huge window of opportunity to learn about distant and interesting places and more about people. Contacts made through Postcrossing or my blog, broadened my opportunity for exchanges and today I have many active “postfriends” that maintain my passion for travel without “traveling”.

A handwritten postcard with stamps is a time devoted especially to another person, perhaps at home, in front of the fireplace or in the square under the Spring sun. Postcrossing integrates the family because all the family celebrates when there are postcards to be found in the mailbox!

Do you have any other interesting hobbies?

Read everything, drawing, photograph, enjoy the outdoors. A coffee or a good tannat wine in front of the fireplace is enough to celebrate life with family and friends.

Show us your mailbox, your mailman/mailwoman, your postoffice or the place where you post or keep your postcards!

The postcards are separated by country, always at hand for the friends, the family and me, at any time to cover the whole table and the world. Each new country is a new party.

Show and tell us about your favorite received postcard to date, and what makes it special.

All cards are attractive because they are sent with love. But three-dimensional postcards stand out, especially the postcard that arrived from Germany thanks to SmilaDE-282465.

DanielD favourite postcard

My best postcard is a reminder of a trip to Milan, Italy in 2002, with four of them can build a postcard cube.

Thanks for taking time to tell us about yourself, Daniel. It's nice to "meet" you! I too like the cube postcard - very different. And I never knew what a 3-dimensional postcard was, so you taught me something new too!
