Hello Postcrossers!

My name ist Grit. My husband and I live in the city of Magdeburg. It's the capital of Saxony-Anhalt, a federal state in Germany, situated in it's eastern part on the river Elbe. I work as an employee of the federal state government. My specialist field is the health care for elderly people.

My favourite activities are cycling, reading, gardening, watching movies. I'm interested in Asian and also in Native American Art and Culture. Also I like Zentangle art. Not at least I love my little tabby cat named Kiki.

Buddhist philosophy is an inspiration for me and it really changed my view to various aspects of life. I'm member of the German-Japanese Society and playing Wadaiko / Taiko drums 🥁 in a group named Akaishi Daiko (https://www.akaishidaiko.de/). My latest project: learning to play shamisen.

I would be delighted to receive cards with the following motifs (in random order). Please note, these are only suggestions, not an obligation at all. Every card is welcome. Feel free to send me any card you like. I'm looking forward to your choice 😊
