About Paula...
Hello, my name is Paula and I live in Holland.
I am a 49 year old happily married mother of 2 great children (19 and 21 years old). I enjoy life very much and I have many interests.
As a young girl there was only one thing I wanted to do: escape from the little town I was living in and see the world. Whilst dreaming of this I wrote many letters to my penpals all over the world.
Over the years I have travelled at lot and even lived abroad in Stratford upon Avon (GB) but I lost touch with most of my penpals and with that the joy of receiving handwritten mail. So that’s where you come in:
I love to receive all your postcards as long as they are handwritten. Feel free to write anything you like, the more you write the happier I will be :-)
If you need help in choosing a card to send me just browse through my favourites, and if that doesn't help here are a few themes I like (I love colourful cards)
- Street views (pref. with name of city on the card)
- Street signs, my maiden name is Achterstraat (which is Dutch for Backstreet) so in Holland there are quite a few towns that have an Achterstraat. I quess thats where my fascination with streetsigns comes from :)
- Signs with the name Nederland or Holland, for example a town, street or tunnel (like the Holland Tunnel in NY)
- Colourful houses
- Streetlights / lanterns
- Mailboxes
- Subway maps
- (Multiples of) doors, windows, shop/bar signs etc.
- Ballet
- Tea and coffee
- Stratford-upon-Avon (UK)
But remember these are just a few themes I like, all cards are welcome!
I am looking forward to receiving your postcards.
Can you please date the card? thank you!
Happy postcrossing!
