About Merel...
Hi, my name is Merel and I live in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.
The name Merel is typically Dutch, I think. It is actually a singing bird. My surname sounds somewhat Italian, but I am not. Do like itaIian food and shoes!
I work for a big publisher, based near Amsterdam but it in fact it is a Finnish company. I am manager of some websites. You might want to checkout: www.startpagina.nl, a typical Dutch website. If there is a website like that in your country, please let me know! And let me know which websites you think are really great and you visit a lot. I would love to check them out myself.
My husband is a lawyer. We do not have kids. In my spare time I like to read newspapers, magazines and books. Or cycle through town. I also like to visit cities, to walk around, look at buildings and feel the atmosphere. I like cities a lot, anywhere around the wold. I love to send cards to friends and family to surprise them on any moment. And of course I like to receive them too!
I like all postcards, but if i have a say I would love to receive cards of your local celebreties, presidents, royals, sporters, singers and/or other heros!
Local recipies are nice too!
Could you write a joke or a witty comment on your card - that would be great!!
Dag,
Merel
