Hello, I'm Rachel!

I love stationary, cute things, and mail, and that has resulted in a big love for Postcrossing as well! I live with my husband and our dog, Anubis (we call him Noob for short!) I've just started my first jobs after graduate school. I'm currently a history teacher at a community college and I work at a children's museum as well. They are both very fun jobs and keep things interesting.

Some of my other hobbies are baking, reading, fashion, casually playing video games, drawing, cross-stitch, and playing board games. I also have started making Youtube videos for Postcrossing and penpal packages! The link is in my profile if you'd like to check it out ^u^

Please tell me your favorite song or artist in your postcard! I love music and I have a playlist with everyone's favorite songs on it that I listen to. I'm also always open to book recommendations!

A general list of things I like, in no particular order:
Original postcards (something you wouldn't think of as a "typical" postcard)!
Shaped postcards (gotochi / ご当地)
Anything cute / kawaii / pink
Animals
Nature / flowers / plants
The color green
Art
Science / medicine
Food / recipes

Children's Cartoons - Bluey, Blue's Clues, Max and Ruby, Care Bears, etc. Tell me what's popular for children to watch in your country!

Your favorite postcard (please tell me what you like about it!)

More specific things that I absolutely love:

Atomic bomb / history (I wrote two theses about the Hiroshima/Nagasaki atomic bombs!)

Thank you for looking at my profile, I love surprises and am happy to receive any post card that you send!

** I lived in Japan for two years ( one year as a student in Nagoya and one year as an English teacher in Shizuoka Prefecture) and I speak Japanese, so if you can speak / write Japanese as well, please send me a postcard in Japanese. Thank you! **
