Hi everyone!

My name is Eline, I'm 16 years old, and I'm from the beautiful city Zwolle in the Netherlands.One of my best friends told me about postcrossing, so I started doing it myself!

On a normal weekday, I go to school. But in my spare time, I like to read books, hang out with friends, cook, play badminton or do some photography.
However, my favourite thing in the world is scouting. I've been a Girl Scout for 7 years now, and as of August I'm also a troop leader. I learn something new every week, and I met some amazing people through scouting who are now my dearest friends. I'm very lucky to be a member of such an international movement, and I cannot imagine my life without scouting.

I'd love to get postcards! But you'd be my hero if you'd send me a postcard with:
- Flowers
- Landscapes
- Maps, flags of your nation, etc.
- Cartoony things (like: Disney, drawings, etc.)
- Art
- Royalty (my mom collects pictures of worldwide royals)
- Anything with the colour pink

I also like receiving recipes! Especially traditional or local dishes. It makes me feel like I am experiencing a little bit of the world everytime I cook something like that, without having to travel!
If I send a postcard, I look at what people have written on their profile. If they mention wanting to discover new cultures, I send them typical Dutch recipes (hutspot, stroopwafels, etc.) It's such a nice idea to think that maybe they'll make it and love it!

Greetings from The Netherlands,
Eline

PS. Do not worry about the language you use: It'd be nice if you'd write it in Dutch or English (my native language, and a language I speak very fluent), but if you can't speak either one of these languages you can write in your native. I'll figure it out :)
