Kayla (or Mickaela) lives in London and she studies politics. She likes to learn foreign languages and is now trying to learn her a 4th one! Here’s what she has to share with us.
- How did you come across Postcrossing? What got you hooked?
-
I first heard about Postcrossing from a friend and because I always liked receiving mail, I decided to try it myself. At first I thought I’d just send a postcard every now and then, but before I knew it, I became an addict! What really got me hooked was the random aspect of Postcrossing and how every card we receive and send is a new little surprise and completely unique :).
- Do you have any other interesting hobbies?
-
At the moment, I am quite busy with my studies, but I’m still dreaming to become a writer one day… I’ve been trying to write a book for a while now!
- Show us your mailbox, your mailman/mailwoman, your postoffice or the place where you post or keep your postcards!
-
My mailbox.
My postoffice.
- Show and tell us about your favorite received postcard to date, and what makes it special.

This is a card I received from Sarah in the US and it’s a picture of people dancing at the Brighton Beach in New York. I love it because everyone in the photo looks so happy – it makes me smile every time I see it! And I also love old things and this postcard fits into this just about perfectly!
- What is it your favorite part of the Postcrossing process?
-
I like drawing a new address and the anticipation of it – what country is it going to be? What kind of person? Can I send them something special? Do they speak another language I could write to them in? I really enjoy getting the cards ready for the mailbox and writing as much as I can on them.

Hi Kayla! Greet to meet you! I agree with you - I enjoy selecting special postcards and stamps and writing messages to other postcrossers almost as much as receiving postcards!
Kayla hasn't logged in for 3 months. How come?
I used to have that card! then I sent it to someone, it came from a book of postcards called America Dances, prints from the Library of Congress.
Nice to 'meet' you Kayla! That Post Office looks very similar to mine ;-)
Hey Kayla - you put it just right - it's the anticipation of that new address - the randomness of it all - and also the anticipation of what will be in the mailbox each day!!! Thanks for your post! Happy PC! :)
