I like writing and I like getting mail. The real mail and real ink on the paper, but any handwriting makes me very happy :-) I used to live in Indonesia... so, sometimes the postcard you get might not be what you expect, especially if you already have a nice postcard from Slovakia.

I like calligraphy and tea, but anything related to letters and writing really does it for me. My hobbies are also yoga, climbing, photography, photo-printing, cross-country biking, and traveling in general.

I study and teach information and library science, so anything from that topic is very welcomed, my colleagues at work and students will appreciate it.

If you happen to have a card or stamp featuring trains, lifts, cable cars, it will be received as a great commemoration of my deceased father who worked at national railways.

As I am putting lots of miles on my bikes on the trails as well as on the road, any postcards featuring any kind of biking, bikes, tips for trips, singletrails, etc. are also very welcomed.

I don't normally do direct swaps, but I have many postcards related to art, especially illustration and then of Indonesian nature and culture. If you like something, ask away! I believe in building meaningful relationships rather than chasing statistics!

On occasion, if your postcard wish cannot be fulfilled with anything available in local shops I might go out with my camera and take and make the postcard myself. If you are not happy with what you got, please send me a message and I will send you another stock postcard per your wish.

/ If you can't read what you got, try a mirror.
/ For the postcards sent in December and January, try to rub one of the stamps, it should give you a nice smell ;-) -> perfumed stamps not in the season at the moment but available for direct swap if you want
