About Silvia...
(Dear USA postcrossers, unfortunately I've received many damaged cards from the USA, as you can see on these cards:
https://www.postcrossing.com/postcards/US-8635286
https://www.postcrossing.com/postcards/US-8803073
As this happens only with cards from the USA, I'm convinced that it happens within your post services. Because of this, I would like you to put postcards into an envelope. Thank you!)
Hello dear postcrossers!
I'm Silvia from Brazil. Retired, 59 years old, living in a small town with my husband Jan (from Czech Republic) and 6 cats. I have an adult son from my first marriage that doesn't live with us anymore. Some of my hobbies are reading (crime novels are my favorite), gardening, watching the news and series, coffee and fruit/winter tea, cooking and drinking a glass of wine with Jan. Traveling is also a passion, but I wish I could travel much more. Jan and I are vegetarian. We love all animals, and we prefer them alive and living free.
If you like crime novels, you can tell me who is your favorite author or book. Also if you have pets, I would love to know a bit about them.
I have only visited 2 countries in a great way: Czech Republic (many times) and Finland (2 times - 3 weeks and 3 days). Also visited Wien and Bratislava (one day trip), and Paris and London (5 days each one). I wish I was younger, to have a chance to visit many more places in this world.
In addition to postcards, I am starting to collect stamps, stickers and tea bags.
My favorite themes are (it is not a demand, but only to help you, if you want that) postcards that show something from your country (photos or illustrations):
- Cities, small towns, villages, etc;
- Churches, castles, City Halls, cemeteries, etc.
- Nature (not a image without a description, please)
- Fauna
- Lighthouses (with the name of the place, please)
-Blue Cats (only unwritten in envelope, please)
If you don't have any of these themes, you can send me stickers or good used stamps (not adhesive ones, please) in an envelope. I would love that too.
Because my postcards collection has increased a lot (more than 20.000 already), from now one I prefer not to receive images that are not from a specific country. I have no space anymore to keep different themes. Thank you for your concern.
It is ok if the postcard is from other country. I don't mind about that.
Please, NO DEAD ANIMALS. NO Politics. NO propaganda. No war.
If possible, please, send me cards in the standard format - 10x15cm.
If you don't pay more fee, I would love to receive your card in an envelope. And if you have used stamps that you don't know what to do with them, you can send me some.
If you like to swap, look my offers, I have tons of cards for trading with you:
