Hello dear friend from the world!

Let me start by telling you that I am an old-timer. A 19th-century old-timer to be more specific. Everything that is related to this century or that is from before the 1940s has the power to caught my eyes immediately.
Well, not surprisingly, my degree is in Philosophy and I constantly have this feeling that Kafka and I would be such good friends. But oh well, we cannot have everything, right? And about tastes, I really enjoy classic literature and psychology books, the opera, writing (long) letters and going for walks in the middle of nature.

Okay, so let's talk postcards! Firstly, please get that cool pen of yours and if you can write down for me the date and city from where you are writing it, that would be great! I would not be a real antique & old-timer fan if I did not store my cards by date, right?
Any card you send me is very appreciated and cherished, but if you are looking for a suggestion to make it easier for you and help my collection, here is a list of my favorite themes, the kind that gives me that extra thrill when I open my letterbox:

- 19th and 20th-century portraits or landscapes or anything related
- Photos from old buildings in your city or country
- Anything German or Austrian,
- Mythology,
- Winter,
- Cultural places and celebrations from your city/country,
- Your favorite nature view/buildings from your city/country.

And finally, let me know something about you too!
Here are some ideas that you can write to me, feel free to pick the one that motivates you to write the most :)

- Do you have any stories from the past that your grandma or grandpa told you?
- Do you have any favorite book or are you reading anything lately?
- How is your day going?
- Do you have any time in the past that you would like to live or do you prefer our present times? Why is that?
- What are you thinking right now?

Can't wait to get to know you!
All the best,
May
