Hello postcrossers !

I have been collecting postcards since many years. It all started with an uncle whom sent lots of them from many cities he visited when I was still a child. I'm not the kind of sistematic collector. If I see an amusing one, I take it.

I like to read books, newspapers, hear music and...ICE CREAM !! I also like comics and some of my favorite characters are: Donald Duck (american), Tintim (belgian), Tex Willer (italian), Blake & Mortimer (Belgian) and Chico Bento (Brazilian). I enjoy to practice ballroom dancing and my favorite styles are samba, forró (both are brazilian), salsa and bolero.

When you sent a postcard, take some minutes to write something about the picture, yourself or the place place where you live. What's written is so important as what can be seen in the card. Nice stamps are always appreciated, I love them ! Feel free to use envelopes.

***Borrowed/stolen from Terry whom borrowed/stolen from Hans in Germany:
"The picture is the body of the postcard.
The message is the soul."
