Hallo!

My name is Heidi and I'm housebound and often bedridden due to chronic pain. Postcrossing is a great way for me to open a small window into the world.

I'm addicted to green and white tea, the colours blue and green, Calvin & Hobbes and The Peanuts. I love dogs (sadly I can't have one) and elephants (I've adopted 5 elephant orphans via Sheldrick Wildlife Trust), plush animals, rubber stamps, things made of paper and fountain pens, rain, snow and cold weather, astronomy, sushi and cinnamon. I'm a huge science fiction fan, especially books and space opera in particular. I like classic cinema and a variety of TV series (Person of Interest, Star Trek TOS, TNG, VOY & ENT, Futurama, The Handmaid's Tale, Stranger (비밀의 숲), The Orville,…). I enjoy classical music, film scores and (progressive) rock.
I worked in a bookshop a long time ago.

📖 Currently reading: "Belladonna Nights" by Alastair Reynolds

You decide which card you choose, but I appreciate your taking a look at my preferences. A postcard we can both enjoy would be perfection. 💙

Don't know what to write? Recommend a book/author, film, TV series or artist (from your country). Add a drawing. Tell me about one thing you love and why. What is your favourite pastime?
Please note the date and, if you like, the weather. Pretty stamps and extras like bookmarks are very welcome. Beautiful/interesting paper, even just scraps, would be the delicious cherry on top.

US Postcrossers: I'd love to receive the Ursula K. Le Guin stamp. Thanks. 😊

Stay Safe & Happy Postcrossing!
