About Claudia...

Hello & Welcome!

I love the idea of postcrossing. When I first heard about the site, I just had to join! Collecting postcards and choosing which one to send as well as getting postcards from all over the world! It's almost like Christmas, just the whole year around!

About me:
I'm 42 years old
I'm single and have a cute nephew and an adorable niece
I live and work in Düsseldorf
I'm an indoors-person
I'm constantly reading (fanfiction, fantasy, science fiction, some crime fiction)
I like action movies, esp. Marvel movies
I'm obsessed with anime (^_^;)
Lately I'm seriously addicted to crocheting
I can't fall asleep without audiobooks by Terry Prachett running in the background
I like music (Nightwish, Eluveitie (they were first recommended to me by a fellow postcrosser), Amorphis, Linkin Park, Sum 41, AWOLNATION, orchestral soundtracks...)
I love coffee and tea
I love food

I always knew I liked certain motifs (trees, landscapes). But since I joined this site and began collecting favorites, I learned that I like certain other kinds of cards too (strange, isn't it?).

So, I like cards with (in no particular order)
* trees (especially old gnarly ones, like beech trees or willows) or leaves
* beautiful landscapes
* Japanese art (from woodcuts to anime)
* food stuff (can you add the recipe? Awesome!)
* everything book/reading related; I'm fond of the postcards that look like actual book covers
* abstract patterns
* Art Nouveau prints and Pre-Raphaelite paintings
* women portraits (paintings, anime, photos)
* Fernando Botero, Duane Bryer's Hilda or similar
* Michael Sowa
* Final Fantasy VII (including Crisis Core, AC, Dirge of Cerberus)
* pictures of deep space (like taken with the Hubble telescope)
* fantasy themes
* mother rhinoceros (that is, a rhino, but only together with a little one! Never alone!)
* Саша Салмина
* Inge Löök postcards; they make me happy
* are there postcards with pictures by Ellen Kooi out there? If so send them my way! :-)
* something weird yet beautiful

I enjoy every card I get! Even ad/free cards (especially nice ones) or cards in an envelope! I'm not so fond of tourist cards (city views, multiviews) or cards with religious themes. But I can understand if that is what you have at hand. So don't worry!

My favorites consist mainly of cards I received because awesome people keep sending me awesome cards! <3

If you write in Dutch or French I should be able to understand but I won't be able to answer in those languages. You can also write in Classical Latin or Yiddish! ;-)

If you don't know what to write, tell me something funny/touching about a family member or you can tell me your favorite joke!

I'm looking forward to your card!
Happy Postcrossing!
