About Sarah...

I live in York, a beautiful city in the North of England. It has a LOT of history and is popular with visitors from all over the world, especially in the summer months and when we have our famous Christmas market.
York is also within easy distance of the North York Moors National Park - one of the most beautiful parts of the country. And the coast is nearby with more stunning scenery. When healthy, I love to hike, and have completed a couple of National Trails (about 120 miles each). I like to carry all my equipment and camp along the way. Nothing beats waking up to a beautiful sunrise, lighting the stove to make breakfast, and being the only person there. It's like the whole world belongs just to me.
York has lots of historical museums that document the history of the city as York was the capital city of England during the Roman period. I am fascinated by history but I have so many interests that it's hard to find time for everything. I wish I could go to the museums more often.

I am studying for a degree in Childhood Studies and International Development.
I love to travel and I run a charity, Chaffinch, that I founded myself, working in the Kibera slum of Kenya.
I enjoy reading and usually have about 60 books waiting for me to have time to read them.

I'm not really fussy about types of postcards, so a few theme suggestions would be:
- your own creativity with a blank postcard. I love to see your unique art.
- scenery
- buildings and places of interest
- local customs
- local transport
- famous art or literature from your country
- food from your region
(basically postcards that make me want to add your location to my travel plans)
- cats
- funny or quirky cards that will make me smile
- religious cards (any religion)

I'm not a fan of military cards, or political cards, but maybe you can change my mind!
