Good morning/afternoon/evening/night, wherever you are!

*Dear Chinese postcrossers: Please add the Chinese version of your address to your profile, as the chance of your card arriving is vastly improved. 35% of my cards to China disappear - most of which have no Chinese address, which may be the reason the Chinese post reasonably enough find it difficult to deliver*

I'm a 45 years old, female IT-geek, working in the railway industry. European, born in Denmark, living in the UK (dual citizenship and all that), ancestors from DK/UK/SE/NL/DE and more... I live in Swindon with my boyfriend Tony and our two spoiled house rabbits (rescue rabbits), Sir Norman Wigglytuff and Brunhilde; my avatar. They are "free roam" (not caged) in our house. For the Jasper Fforde readers: We don't have any dodos here, but there's a Thursday Street just around the corner.

If you play Pokemon Go, feel free to write your friend code on the card, and I'll add you :-)

I like mail, books, vegetarian cooking, travelling (I've been to DK/SE/NO/LT/CZ/GB/JE/GG/IM/DE/BE/FR/MC/IT/VA/ES/GR/CH/IN/SG/MY/MZ/TZ/ZA/US), Pokémon Go, history, animals (I'm an RSPCA volunteer) & much more. I studied earth sciences at university and love the colour blue...

Some people are worried that I may not like their card because I already have 12000+ cards. Don't worry! I'm easy to please... my lists below are for guidance only!

**If you are from South or Meso-America, Africa or any rare country, please send me a tourist card from *your own* country!**

My *wishlist* (not an order list - be creative!):
-Doctor Who – esp. Daleks
-your favourite museum
-mazes/labyrinths
-monsters
-snow - flakes/crystals, landscapes...
-rabbits/hares, owls, penguins, beautiful/weird fish/corals/squid/octopuses/jelly fish and other underwater life (no dolphins and whales, pls.)
-volcanoes, tornadoes, lightning, icebergs, glaciers, rock formations, caves, minerals and stones

-pieces of flimsy paper and no card
-animals dressed up
-babies/children
-indecent/erotic cards
-commercial/ad cards (unless they fit one of my likes above - there are many beautiful/funny ads!)

*Please no requests for private swaps - I don't do them
*Sorry, I won't register cards I haven't received; it's also against Postcrossing rules
