Gweninasven

I'm Gwen, 42, I'm French but I've been living in the Netherlands for more than 12 years now. I'm a freelance translator and I live in Amsterdam with my Dutch partner and our 2 children (Nina, 7 and Sven, 4).
The postcards we will receive are also meant for them as they love getting post.

I love music - my favourites are Luka Bloom, Nick Cave, Sinéad O'Connor, Neubauten, Gavin Friday... - and books. I particularly enjoy English and French fiction (especially classics, modern litterature, thrillers and cartoons). From Jane Austen to Val McDermid. With Emile Zola and Lewis Trondheim somewhere in between.

I also love languages, warm baths, chocolate, finding the time to do nothing, sunny days, Brittany and tv/online quizzes, TV series (Twin Peaks, House, Cold Feet, Friends...).

Another thing I love is history in general and Russian and English history in particular. I would love to learn Russian - maybe sometime in the future!

I'm brand new here so getting any postcards will make me/us happy! I would love to get
- city views,
- landscapes,
- maps (of your land/region/town)
- iconic cultural/natural things from your country
- cards with "historic things" (people, places, buildings...)

I would also like to know a little bit about you, I will find it interesting if you write about that! (If you have no idea what to write, just tell us what's your favourite place in your country / your favourite food / your favorite singer... things like that).

You can also write something in your language and translate it (some of the most current words in your language for example). I will enjoy it all the more if your language is written in an "exotic" (to me!) alphabet :-)

No ad cards, please !
