Ines1980

Hi.
My name is Ines, I'm married and I live in Bayreuth, a small town in Bavaria, Germany. My town is famous for the classical composer Richard Wagner and lots of buildings and events attract thousands of tourists to come to Bayreuth every year.

I am a teacher for languages (English, French and Spanish) in a local grammar school. I spend a lot of time with my three cats (all from animal shelters), and I have my own horse, Hullabaloo. She lives outside in a herd throughout the year, appropriately to the species. You can see us together in the avatar. I have always had cats, I can't imagine living without them and having a horse not only means some work, but also so much fun, especially when riding through the forests or along the fields.

Furthermore I like travelling and exploring new countries. I am a great fan of the British alternative rock band Muse and I listen to their music or go to their concerts whenever I can. My next concerts will be in Berlin in October 2022 and in Paris in July 2023.

I used to travel a lot with pupils or my husband and I usually sent postcards from all places I visit. Now it's different - but I'm not too sad about the travels with pupils that currently do not take place in the same way they used to. But this might change this year - everybody seems to think that corona is over and we will be able to travel with pupils like we used to, but every short trip we have had so far in the last months turned out to be a super spreading event...

I always try to find suitable postcards to fulfill every recipients' wishes, I hope that you will do the same for me...

I am looking forward to receiving lots of postcards from different places, especially I prefer TOURISTIC POSTCARDS or MAP CARDS, modern city views and beautiful landscapes (photographs with the name of the place written on the front side would be great). I would also love to receive LARGE LETTER postcards from the US. I stick all city view postcards to an empty wall in my house. I also enjoy postcards from the POSTALLOVE Greetings from... series.

If you are from the USA, I would love to receive a MAP POSTCARD with the name of your state on it.

Furthermore I like KEEP CALM postcards.

I love to drink tea, so if you sent me a teabag from your country, I'd be very happy. But only do that if sending an envelope doesn't cost you more than sending an ordinary postcard.

I am a keen gardener and I love to sow vegetables - and I usually harvest more than the two of us can eat, so my colleagues and neighbours often have to "help" eating them. If you want to share some special seeds from your country which probably don't exist in my area, please stick them to your postcard, I will definitely sow them. I would also be very happy to exchange vegetable or fruit seed - so if you are interested, just let me know...

I hope to hear from you soon. Happy postcrossing!
