NorthVilu

Hello! My name is Riitta, and I live in northern Finland. I study art education in my local university and if the future will let me, I will one day be an art teacher! Perhaps an elementary school teacher as well, as I'm studying for that at the side of my main studies.

My ultimate favourite hobby right now is playing Dungeons&Dragons with my pals both as a player and a DM! I'm a fan of the show "Critical Role" as well. I like animals a lot, especially felines and guinea pigs. I have two lovely ragdoll cats living with me. Art history is great and I'm actively adoring everything related to (present day and) Ancient Greece! <3 Γεια σας!

I like to spend my spare time drawing, painting and learning the ropes of different bookbinding styles. And comics, comics are nice! I like to both draw and read them. Don Rosa's Uncle Scrooge stories and Blacksad from Díaz Canales and Guarnido are one of my favourites. I like books a lot, too, even though I don't really read too much nowadays. My favourite books are Tolkien's Middle Earth works, Brian Jacques' Redwall (<3), P.L.Travers' Mary Poppins books and Tove Jansson's Moomin books.

If you have no idea what to write (or if you just feel like it) I'd absolutely love if you would draw something instead/in addition C: Drawings are just the best!

Of course any kind of postcard is welcomed and appreciated, but If you're looking for particularly good themes for a card, I especially like to receive cards that show:

+ Art (especially historical paintings and drawings relevant to your country)
+ History of your country
+ Nature
+ Fantasy creatures (all are great, dragons and fauns are my favourites), fairytales/book illustrations
+ Old vehicles: steam locomotives, ships, cars.
+ Animals (canines, felines, rodents, animals common in your country...)
+ Something funny and unexpected, maybe even a bit odd
+... or anything that seems like it wants to be sent to me :')

I have some super interests I love -> Are you from...

... China?
As always any kind of card is amazing, but if you can find a dragon card it would be amazing! 谢谢!

... Russia?
Any card is super welcome, but if you can find a card presenting the Romanov history (esp. Maria Feodorovna) it would be super awesome! Cпасибо!

... Greece?
I love any card you'd like to send my way, but if you can find one about the ancient times and/or mythology or the culture of present day Greece I would be thrilled! Ευχαριστώ πολύ!

And of course a thing of common sense:
