Howdy, I am a graduate student majoring in Architecture and Urban Planning.

I have travelled to many cities and enjoyed lovely places in almost every city. Too many plain tourist cards sent from great cities make me feel that the amazing things are unfairly ignored.

I hope postcrossing can be not only a way to connect the world, but also a way to reconsider on what is of great value that we want to present to the world. It would make my day if you take some time searching for the truly beautiful things that are not too far from you. I'd love to discover good things with your postcard, and it means a lot that you also have fun finding this unique card for me.

These cards are my favorites:
♥ great ARCHITECTS and their works- Le corbusier, Frank Loyld Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Victor Horta, Antonio Gaudi, Carlo Scarpa, Alvar Aalto, Louis Kahn, I.M.Pei, Tadao Ando, Norman Foster, Rem Koolhass, Peter Zumthor (You may check out this site to see great buildings near you: www.mimoa.eu)...
♥ buildings, towns, villages and landscapes listed as UNESCO Heritage.
♥ great photos of CITIES with long history or unique culture, and its urban planning, maps, people, traditions, food- New York, Chicago, Austin, Delhi, Varanasi, Taipei, Kathmandu, Rotterdam, Bruxelles, Venice, Florence, Berlin, Prague, Vienna (which I've visited) and Paris, Rome, Istanbul, Barcelona, London, Amsterdam, Boston, Kyoto, Brasilia (which I would like to visit, and please tell me more about it)...
♥ MUSIC album covers, MUSIC festivals, Folk, Britpop, Indie, 90s Rock
♥ ART- Classic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassic, Art Nouveau, Abstract, Modern, Exotic, Oriental...
♥ artistic photography and design works

These cards also make me happy:
♥ giraffe or deer
♥ sunflower
♥ Phillip Lahm

I appreciate if u check my favorites:

The above long list doesn't mean to restrict or to confuse. For me it's also exciting to be surprised, if you may kindly notice some of my preferences:
Prefer SINGLE VIEW to multiple views.
Love beautiful stamps.
Don't really like low quality photo or cheap design. Would you please kindly avoid one with ugly typography. :)

Look forward to hearing from you.
