Hello, I'm Sara! I love drawing, reading and learning about other cultures. I do kickboxing aaand I also play piano. I absolutely love travelling and my goal is to visit at least every country in Europe! I live in a small town in a three-room-flat with my little sister (at least for now, let's see how long we last)

And where is this small town, you ask? Well, let me tell you about my home country. I come from the place where there is more lakes than people, where the forests still take up to 78% of the area. Where Santa Claus and the creator of moomins come from. Where people eat weird shit like salty licorice and rye bread (sometimes they even fill it with rice porridge) and also do weird shit like sitting in temperatures up to 90°c and then jumping into a lake full of ice.
And that mystical wonderland is a place named Finland. And no, it is not the capital of Sweden, and yes, it is in Europe, miss Aeroport officer.

So enough about me and my dear motherland and let's talk about the thing we all are here for: the postcards. Here are some cards I would really like to receive (just wishes, don't kill me postcrossing authorities):

• cards about mythology, I love old tales and stuff like that so so so much
• and of course mythical creatures (like mermaids, centaurs, fairies, dragons, nymphs)

• the work of my favourite artists:
- Vincent Van Gogh, I absolutely love his art (I have already got Starry
night, Cafe Terrace at Night, A Wheat Field with Cypresses and
Blossoming Almond Branch in a Glass)
- Edvard Munch
- Claude Monet (I have Dans la Prairie)
• cards from art museums, I collect them to my closet doors
• you can aldo send me a work by your favourite or by a local artist (if your favourite happens to be yourself, your work is of course welcome too)

• Moomin (shut up, I know I'm from Finland, they are just so pretty)
• Calvin and Hobbes
• Old Disney
• Studio Ghibli / Hayao Miyazaki
• Other comic/cartoon cards

• Those old drawn vintage/retro traveling ads or greetings cards
• Old and new maps
• Tarot Cards

Take a peek at my favorites too! I am not really a fan of multi views or basic touristy cards, so I would appreciate if you didn't sent me them. But I love every card I receive, so no pressure!

And to the other side of your card you could scribble something about yourself, your country and culture, or give me recommendations for books, movies, songs (please, please, please recommend me songs, I have gotten bored with my old favourites) or tell some old beliefs or fairytales from your area, or some weird things people from your country/area do.

Om du talar svenska kan du skriv på svenska! And if you speak German of French you can also write in those languages, I really need to practise...

I would be happy if you could include the date and a brief weather report. I'll be looking forward to receiving your undoubtedly amazing cart!
