Hello friend!

I am Mari. I live in Seinäjoki, Finland, with my husband. We have two adult children, studing and living elsewhere.

My hobbies are different kind of exercice, for example water running and Nordic Walking, watching floorball, stand up-comedy, singing, reading and this summer, feeding wild hedgehogs in our garden. Sometimes I do crafts. I also like travelling. I work at school as an assistant for special needs (or something like that) and afternoon club instructor for 6-7 years old kids . When I was young, I used to have pen-pals all over the world. Postcrossing is like returning to the past for me.

If you want to see my hometown, Seinäjoki, here are links to short videos, in English:

All kind of postcards are welcome, but I love
¤ naivistic paintings
¤ colorful local things
¤ blooming/flowering trees and fields
¤ sunrise and sunset
¤ hot air balloons
¤ dolphins
¤ tulips
¤ ciraffs
¤ hedgehogs
¤ blue cats by Rina Zeniuk and Tatiana Plovetskaya
¤ self made postcards, if carefully prepared

My favorite postcards are mostly the ones I´ve received. You can take a hint from there. I don't really fancy typical tourists cards any more.

The text is also very important! Please write for example something funny or special that happened to you today. Or what is your dream and what are you doing to receive it?

I always read the profile when choosing the postcard that I'm sending. I hope you do the same! So far, this has been a wonderful hobby! Postcrossing brings joy and feeling of togetherness for people all over the world! Please write your firstname to the card!

Wenn Sie Deutsch sprechen, können Sie auf Deutsch schreiben. Du hilfst mir, meine Sprachkenntnisse zu pflegen! Vielen Dank!

Se un poco de español. Quiero practicarlo, para que puedas escribir en español. Muchas gracias!

Om du talar svenska kan du skriva på svenska. Du hjälper mig att behålla mina språkliga färdigheter! Tack så mycket!

Suomesta erityisesti toivon naivistisia kortteja, esim. Raija Nokkalan, Pertti Ylisen, Terhi Mickelssonin, Heli Pukin ja Katja Saarion tekemiä. Kiitos!

Из России особенно надеюсь на карточки Ленида Афренова и Евгения Чистотина. Большое спасибо!

Take a deep breath, focus on the good!
Let many miracles come in to your life!
