1. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SCANNER, JUST SEND ME THE POSTCARD, I'LL SCAN IT FOR YOU :-)
2. I ALWAYS register cards the exact same day of arrival

I live in the city of Zaandam, famous for it's wooden houses and windmills.

I travel a lot although the last 13 years it is mainly Indonesia, I also love Taiwan, Japan and Denmark a lot. Bucketlist next: Nepal, Ghana, Kenya, Thailand (again)

Am 61 years old, royalty-fan, enjoy history, handbags, stamps, cooking, museums and much more. Have 8 foster children from Indonesia and 1 from Nepal. Sponsorchildren in Indonesia, Burkina faso, Kenya, Ghana, Haiti, Bangladesh, Mexico, and sponsor refugees from Tibet.

I enjoy ALL kind of stamps and postcards,

BUT an absolute NO for halloween/horror/unicorns & drugs (Nederlanders!) cards or "Keep Calm" (that really offends me!) though.
I am not a fan of meetup cards... but feel free to send them.
