Hello everyone,

Greetings from Hungary, the tiny country that gave the world the Rubik's cube, Franz Liszt, Bela Lugosi, Gloomy Sunday, and some pretty good wines among others.

I'm a girl with an unpronounceable given name. I draw pictures on postcards sometimes. I'm obsessed with travelling, and I love to learn new things about the world. I love how Postcrossing can change your view of the world through just a couple of postcards.

The ideal postcard for me is something like this:

on the picture side:
-sights, famous places of your home, local landmarks, UNESCO
-mapcards
-folklore, myths, legends, fairy tales
-traditions, folk art, national costumes
-anything about your culture really :)
-works of well known, and not so well known artists
-architecture (my favourite is contemporary but anything makes me happy) I love towers(Tv/radio towers, lighthouses, etc)!
-Alice in Wonderland (I prefer non-Disney)
-Nikola Tesla, Lewis Carroll, T.E. Lawrence, Peter O'Toole, Audrey Hepburn, David Bowie, Kate Bush
-sci-fi, fantasy, steampunk themed
-Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, Game of Thrones
-animation, comics, cartoons, book illustraitions from your country
-calligraphy, especially if it's not in the latin alphabet
-tea
-trains, railway stations, airplanes, airlines, airports, ships, vintage cars
-wild animals, especially forest animals like foxes, wolves, bears, deer, etc, also cranes, magpies, penguins, sharks, jellyfish, seals
-marimo
-flora of your country
-wisteria
-GERMANY: I'm trying to collect cards of the Deutsche Bundesländer (the way others collect U.S. states). So far I only have: Berlin, Sachsen, Thüringen. Thanks for helping me completing my collection! :)
-anything from my favorites
-but I also love suprises, don't worry!

the written side:
-like most people here, I prefer written & stamped cards without an envelope
-nice stamps are always welcome (my favorites are Europa CEPT ones)
-nice decorations, stickers, tapes, drawings always make me very happy
-eki stamps/memorial stamps if not too much trouble for you to get one on the card
-write a lot! I love long messages
-tell me something about yourself that's not on your profile page
-how was your day/week/month/year/decade/etc?
-tell me something you know about Hungary. Have you visited us? Do you want to visit?
-recommend me a band, song, book, movie from your country
-what type/brand of alcoholic drink should I try when I visit your country?
-I love learning languages! should I learn your language? Is it hard? Easy? What is fun about it? Would you learn it if it wasn't your first language?
-teach me your favourite word, phrase, or quote in your language
-does your name have an unusual or interesting meaning? do you like it or not?
-if you speak it, feel free to write in German or Japanese.

I greatly appreciate all the time, money, love and effort you put into choosing and writing a card for me, and am looking forward to finding it in my mailbox. :)

Happy Postcrossing!
