About Jan...
Aloha from the beautiful island of Maui,
I am 62 years old and retired in 2021! I love to travel, particularly to tropical locations. I enjoy live music events, plays, comedy shows, and musicals. To keep active, I walk, bike, and paddle outrigger canoes. I am also a voracious reader and love finding random books from tiny libraries.
I love postcards of landscapes, views of your city or anything you'd like to send me. I really enjoy when postcrossers share a little bit about themselves or about their home town. I hope to traveling around the world so I would appreciate hearing about where you live.
Also, a big YES to handmade cards!!!! How wonderful to receive the gift of art from someone!
I really like to cook and bake. If any of you would like to share your favorite vegetarian or baked goods recipes, I would love to try them :)
French speakers, would you please write your postcard in French? I have been studying French for 2 years and would love to practice more. Merci beaucoup.
Thank you and happy postcrossing!

Please message me first before sending a direct swap postcard. I will always swap 😁 but sometimes your return address gets smudged or printed over by the post office and then I don’t know how to contact you!
10/29/2021 news—longest traveling postcard that has been registered: 240 days to the UK traveling 7,257 miles. I wonder where this postcard has been hanging out all of this time? Perhaps stuck in a sorting machine or bin? I am so happy it finally arrived :)
