hey, I am Darja and i am a teacher for art,english and drama. i live in the north of germany together with my husband, our sons Pay (born Halloween 2013) and Nis (8/2018) as well as two cats. we own an old house (~200 years) that we are renovating.

i used to do postcrossing a lot but stopped when I had my boys. i have decided to take up postcrossing again to have something to do together with my son Pay.

I would be really happy if you could adress and write your card to Pay. You can write about anything and pick any card you think he might like. Maybe tell him about something special from your life/country or what you have been doing that day...

Pay likes:
monstertrucks, dinosaurs, monsters, Sonic the hedgehog, Peppa Pig, fast cars/boats, being outside and working in our garden, constructing something with lego (esp. Batman and Ninjago), drawing, baking, swimmig, jumping on the trampoline and he plays soccer (but we are not huge soccer fans) . his favourite team is St Pauli of Hamburg.

The text below is about my preferences from my old profile, it still is fairly accurate. ☺️

as for postcards, i prefer not to get tourist viewcards, so please save those for someone who appreciates them more. i especially collect:

❤️parodies (funny/different versions) of famous paintings or royalty. i know that's a very difficult topic and cards are hard to get but this is my favourite collection & any addition would be great!
(here is an example of the kind of cards i mean: https://www.postcrossing.com/postcards/US-1602489

here's a little challenge for you: please draw a little monster on the card for me. even if you think you can't draw-i know i'll love it :)

i love getting postcards not only for the pictures but also to read about the person who sent it~so a lot of text as well as beautiful stamps, stickers &other decorations are greatly appreciated as well. handmade cards welcome. ad cards welcome if they go with what i like.

looking forward to recieving your postcard.
thanks for reading & happy postcrossing
