Ilonka

Hi everyone!

I'm Ilonka, 40 years old. I live in Deventer, in the east of The Netherlands with my husband.
I used to have a dog Dribbel(Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, you can see him on the picture, unfortunately he passed away in April 2018. I also had a cat, Nikita, she passed away on April 12th this year.

I had a very long break from Postcrossing, but now I think I'm ready to start it up again, really look forward to send and receive postcards again! Everyone can use some positive things and messages in this difficult time.

Something more about me:
I work for a company who imports toys from China and sells them in Europe, it's a very small company, so I do a lot of different things, I really like my job and the company too, I work here for 15 years now.
In my freetime I like to go for a walk, watch TV shows, I also like shopping, paint (by number :), diamond painting (during this I listen to podcasts, true crime ones are my favourite), cycling, fitness, penpalling, cooking and baking (especially baking bread), drinking tea and postcrossing of course! Formula 1 is the sport I like to watch the most.

Cards I like the most:
- Touristic cards, I like single views more, but multiviews are also
nice!

- Cards that are related to my hobbies
- Or surprise me with a card you like!

I will appreciate every card you send me :) Above is just an indication of what I like, but I'm sure I will like every postcard you send me.

If you don't know what to write on the card please tell me something about yourself and/or your hometown/country, or what you did that day.
If it's possible for you I would like to receive written and stamped postcards.

Thanks for reading and I'm looking forward to receive your card :)
