Hello:)
I quite like this small gesture of kindness of sending a postcard to a total stranger. Like receiving little presents in the mail, it's a lot nicer than receiving bills;)
I'm also interested in other cultures and this brings the world closer(though I have travelled a lot as well). But never been to the US or Asia.

I'm Dutch, 32 yrs old and studying a master in Germany focussing on late prehistory-early middle ages & archaeometallurgy/raw resources. Archaeology is a dream come true for me.

My general interests:
*Archaeology (of the Carribean, Meso-and South-America, Scandinavia/Baltic,Northwest-and Eastern Europe).
*Late prehistory untill Early middle Ages (other periods too)
*Archaeometallurgy (metallurgy of the past)
*Gold-and silversmiting, Blacksmithing, Bronze casting
*Living History & open air museums
*Sewing, knitting, needlebinding (learning)
*Fashion
*History, Mythology, Folklore
*Nature, Mountains, Oceans, Forests, Animals & insects
*Horsemanship (horsebackriding)
*Natural phenomena (Aurora Borealis, hurricanes etc)
*Geology & Minerals, Mining
*Languages, Poetry
*Cooking & baking, Recipes(always welcome!)
*Tea (-fanatic:)
*Music (ranging from classical, jazz (20s-40s), prog (f.e. Pink Floyd), folk, post-rock, electronica, world music etc)
*Gramophone, 78 rpm records
*Anime, Manga, Comics (love bizarre, 'dark' ones!)
*Science Fiction & Fantasy
*Vintage& Retro (pictures from 1850 to 1970, black& white, sepia)
*Art, handicrafts, creativity
*Nude(M/F), pin-up, erotica
*Old movies (i.e. Metropolis)
*The universe/ space / space programme /planets
*Culture / local dress & customs
*Religion/lifestyle/philosophies:shamanism, buddhism, Islam, christianity, Judäism etc.

The only thing I do NOT like are teddybears( I like real ones)

I'm fond of animals, cats, dogs and horses in particular. I have two very cute cats and hope to have a dog and a horse in the future (in a few years perhaps?).I also really love the outdoors.
I enjoy cooking, I generally cook 'world'cuisine at home (asian, mediteranean, E-European, S-American, Carribean etc), rarily typical Dutch or German things).

Thank you!

P.s. I am currently learning some Hungarian (just been in Hungary!) and (ki)Swahili (if I go to East-Africa). I also have a friend who speaks Swahili, but it would be nice if you can write me in any of those (and the above) languages:) I would also like to receive cards with Russian text, as I am also learning Russian!
