About Öykü...
Hello there!
About me:
I am a great fan of reading. Since two years, I was not able to read as much as I want but this year I am dedicated. I feel lucky because many authors I love published new books and I cannot wait to read them! I mostly read Turkish literature but I also enjoy world literature. Here are some exemplary authors: Le Guin, Murakami, Sartre, Camus, Kundera, Kafka, Borges, Buzzati, and Romain Gary. Any postcards about these authors or maybe your favorite ones are welcomed :) I also appreciate a good book recommendation.
I lived in Bern for almost a year but I am now back home. The perks of living in Switzerland was being close to nature. I used to love city life but last 3 years I am kind of seeking peace in my life. Nature helps me to find peace in me. I still like cities but cannot wait for a refreshing hike or silent camping. And an amazing view is just priceless.
What to send?
Mostly when I am traveling, I like sending postcards to my family and friends with city illustrations on it. They make me feel a bit local for some reason :) If you have a chance to send an illustrated city card, I'd definitely love it. My favorite local postcard artist is https://www.apinchofsketches.com/ankara (Just to give you an idea ^^)
What to write?
I think Postcrossing prompts are really helpful but if you don't like it anyway, just write about yourselves. I like reading about other people's lives. Or you can always recommend a good book; a good trip; a good movie (especially independent ones). Or you can tell me about a trip you just had, anything interesting happened in the last couple of days. I believe that everyone has something to say, so say it, share it! ^^
PS: I love it when you send the cards with jolly stamps and without envelopes.
