Hello new friend!

I'm 38 years old and work as a legal secretary, which I like very much. I love books, tea, cooking, wine, travel, movies, flea markets, riding horses, playing both board games and video games, nature walks, getting to know new people... And I am very fond of postcrossing!

I'm a big fan of afternoon tea. The best tea I've ever had was at Raffles hotel in Singapore, they have a great Earl Grey house blend. I also thoroughly enjoyed Fortnum & Mason afternoon tea in London. I love to cook, although right now I stick to mild family favorites, as I have three small sons. Summer of 2018 I traveled to London (went to see the production of Witness for the Prosecution - was superb), Austria (first time paragliding!) and München, where we had a great time in beer gardens.

My favorite authors are Alexander McCall Smith, Agatha Christie, David Sedaris, Joanne Harris, Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Augusten Burroughs, Dorothy Gilman, Donna Leon, Patricia Cornwell, Peter Mayle, Bill Bryson, Lemony Snicket, J.K. Rowling. Just to name a few. As you can imagine, I'm passionate about cooking and travel books!

I can't wait to hear from you! Any postcard is greatly appreciated, but if it features Tintin, Sherlock Holmes, Poirot or Miss Marple, books, tea, adventure, food, games, a beautiful drawn picture, or maps, I will be extra delighted! I've also had a few cards which were self-made, and they were absolutely beautiful, so I like them too! To those writing from England: I hear there are Agatha Christie stamps. May I dare to hope..?

If you're wondering what to write, I'd love to hear what you are reading at the moment. I would also like to hear about your favorite dishes and fondest food-related memories, or about your country's food traditions.

Greetings from Finland!
