Anne2406

Hi there!

My name is Anne, I'm 26 years old and I live in Rotterdam with my boyfriend. Although many people do not like Rotterdam because it's an industrial and modern city, I love living here. Rotterdam is the second largest city in The Netherlands, but it's not as scenic as for example Amsterdam or Utrecht. What I like about Rotterdam, is that it is a melting-pot of many different cultures.

I have attained my Master's degree in Applied Linguistics in August 2012 and at the moment I work as a teacher of Dutch as a second language. I find my job very rewarding, because I feel like I am really contributing to the self-reliance and independence of my students.

I especially like these cards (in random order):

★ Anne Taintor
★ Leonid Afremov
★ Cupcakes
★ Hearts/heart shaped things
★ Nouvelles Images
★ Pin-up girls
★ Vogue covers (especially old ones, 1892 - 1980)
★ Audrey Hepburn
★ Other beautiful and powerful women, like Marlene Dietrich, Coco Chanel, Rita Hayworth, Bette Davis, Billie Holiday, Grace Kelly, Frida Kahlo, etc.
★ Reading or writing women
★ Food and recipes (especially food traditions from your county)
★ Coffee and tea
★ James Dean
★ Mela Köhler
★ Sanna Annukka
★ Nikki McClure
★ Rex Ray
★ Alphonse Mucha
★ Olga Gouskova
★ Gustav Klimt
★ Folk art paper cutouts from Poland: wycinanki (without touristic texts like "From Poland")
★ Flow Magazine
★ Cavallini Papers & Co
★ Single Wishes (Art Unlimited)
★ Colorful matryoshka dolls
★ Old Volvo cars
★ Pop-art
★ Art deco patterns/fashion (please no buildings)
★ Kontraste (please no animals)
★ Black and white (please no animals)
★ Keep calm and... series
★ Street art (for example: http://www.postcrossing.com/postcards/BE-170380)

You could check out my Favourites to get an idea:
http://www.postcrossing.com/user/Anne2406/gallery/favourites. Also, I use my Favourites as a wishlist, so I would love to receive one of the cards in this gallery. Of course, these are all requests, not demands...but it will definitely bring a big smile to my face :)

You can take a look at my collection of received cards (officials and forum) here:

I'm not a big fan of postcards with cityviews/countryviews/multiviews/animals, handmade cards and ad cards. Please no Touchnote cards either.

I like my cards to be handwritten and stamped. If you don't know what to write, please tell me your favorite quote, song or recipe. I love music and my favorite things to do are cooking and baking, so I would love to receive your favorite recipe. I'd like it if you could write the date on your postcard.

I am really looking forward to your postcard!

Anne
