Yo Postcarders! This is Charles.

I am glad to meet you people from all over the world who like postcards just like I do. I am looking forward to hearing from you, making new friends and receiving some awesome postcards from you!

I am most grateful that you can read this page and I will appreciate more about your generosity if you can send a lovely postcard to me, a strange person whom you never knew before.

As a postcard collector just like many of you are, I do have some little preferences about the postcards.

-- A iconic landmark or some pictures of your country or city.

-- A native animal from your country.

-- A postcard of your local/favourite SPORTS TEAM

-- A picture of your school if you are a student like me.

-- PHQ cards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHQ_card

I am not picky and I will embrace all the postcards I receive. But I think it is worthy to mention that some of postcards that I am " not a huge fan of ". If those are all you got, that is absolute fine to me!

-- Some art works or cartoons

-- Children,pets and cars

-- Cards with advertisement on it

Also I particularly want to hear those topics from you. Those are also few tips if you find it is hard to talk to a random person from the other side of the world :)

-- Something about your country. ( Try your best to tempt me to go there XD)

-- Your favourite movie or book ( I am into both Movies and Books)

-- Do you have any unique but extraordinary views about this world that you want to share with me? I always here to listen!

-- Do you have any frustration at this moment? Trust me it will help even if you write to someone you don't know! ( I tried this many times before)

If you still don't have any ideas, why not just tell me interesting thing about yourself or even what happened to you today！Sharing your stories with a person from the other end of the planet. Isn't that awesome enough?

During traveling, I always feel how magnificent this world is, how there are so many great people and how there are so many possibilities.

Postcards connect the world,in a more romantic,poetic and sophisticated way than the Internet does. It made me wonder, maybe, sometimes the world is as small as my mailbox.

I do think:

Sometimes the world is too big; Sometimes the world is too small.

Isn't that also the spirit of Postcrossing?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
