Hello! I currently Hail from Oregon, about half a days drive from the coast, I enjoy quiet living day to day, but also going out for Concerts, Arts, Travel. I have one cat.

Postcrossing for me brings together interests and values, Travel, Art, Culture. Looking forward to our moment of connection! I especially appreciate a dated card, perhaps with mention of weather or a recent current event,
Also please consider adding your latitude and longitude, and Altitude.
If you often discuss on a theme, feel free write your message in kind, however I really appreciate anything significant regarding the location on/ subject of the card you send. I wish to learn languages, especially: French, Japanese. I would love your description of a beloved pet, farm companion, or local wildlife!

A large part of why I enjoy postcrossing relates to my curiosity and engaged hospitality, Grew out of an interest in Philately and love of discovery, So below is just my part in that engagement, to avoid that "blank page/ canvas" issue. Please send what feels right for you.

*I collect stamps and Quotes, so a quote, line from a poem,song title, recipe would be welcome, as would a meaningful phrase in a language of your choosing, translation appreciated. Do you have a favorite recipe? Is your region known for something unique?
