About Karen...
I like playing music, growing and making food, reading, spending time outdoors, and learning about other languages.
I enjoy receiving fully written postcards (no envelopes, please), and I would especially love to hear about the music, books, and foods you like, or about a moment in your day. Learning a little bit about you is more important to me that what is on the postcard :)
Some of my favorite postcard themes:
-Raccoons (my favorite postcards to collect)
-Jetoy/Choo Choo Cats
-Animals or plants from where you live
-Mass transit: subways, trains, buses, etc
-Nature landscapes
-Architecture: Brutalist, Stalinist, and institutional or other "ugly" buildings
-If you live in a country with few postcrossers, I would love any typical tourist card that shows your country
-Food, especially foods that are popular or traditional where you live
-Weird postcards: anything that is strange/boring/ugly and makes you wonder, "Whose idea was it to put THAT on a postcard?" I am not easily offended, so I will also welcome those cards you may hesitate to send because they are risque, vulgar, etc.
-Everyday graphic design: cut some cardboard packaging to postcard size (for instance, from a box that contained your favorite cereal or snack) and send that to me as your postcard :)
Happy postcrossing!
