About Aarika...
I am a Medical Laboratory Scientist (I have a degree in Biology and my certification in Medical Technology) and work in an HIV research lab at the local University. I love ice hockey, and my favorite team is the Pittsburgh Penguins. My husband also works for the University, but not as a researcher. We are owned by a mix-breed dog (my avatar picture) and a Jack Russell Terrier, and I spend some of my free time volunteering at the local animal shelter.
I'm really interested in cultures around the world, so I'd like to hear about your part of it! I'd love postcards that show me something different about where you're from, but I'm not picky. I love every card that I get because each is unique. Any kind is welcome! (Please note, I have no "favorites" because I love them all!) If you're not sure what to write, tell me something interesting about the place you live or about yourself. And, if you speak a language other than English, I would really like it if you could write something for me (with translation!) in your native tongue.
Also, I'd like to receive cards/stamps from any of the Olympic Games, places of worship (any religion), your local ice hockey team, ballet (pointe), or any science-themed card. If you don't have any of these, don't worry!! I'll be happy with anything you can send :) But please write on and stamp the cards, no envelopes.
I look forward to hearing from you!
