About Manuela...
Hi!
I live near the ocean, in a very small village, not very far from the capital town of my country, Lisbon.
I have been teaching English and French most of my life.
I have enjoyed it quite a lot as it gave me the chance to keep in touch with a lot of different people.
However, that is not my passion in life - my real passions are travelling, photography, astronomy and reading. And postcards. If I can't go "there" in the least I can see it and keep it in an album.
I have been to quite a few places - from travelling around my own country to travelling around Europe - and I must admit that holiday times have been some of the happiest in my life.
You can send me any kind of postcard - no multi-views, please! - but what I really like are beautiful landscapes and theme-related cards of some of my favourite stories and books:
- sky, space, astronomy, aurora borealis, space exploration...
- castles
- foggy and mysterious places
- Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit
- Harry Potter
- fairies and fairy tales
- traditional stories illustrations
- mountains and snowy landscapes
- forests
- city sights
If you have a look at my favourites you will get a better idea!
I also collect stamps - so, if you use a beautiful stamp I will thank you forever!
