About Thomas...
I like to travel and looking forward to get postcards with nice stamps from all arround the world!
Let me know what is famous in your city/area - Looking forward to read about it and I will google then for more information to discover new aspects/history/stories about different places on earth!
Therefore I‘m happy about postcards from your home place / town / area / country. But sometimes a surprise card will be not bad! Check my favorites on my wall.

One of my favorite places is Sanibel Island (Florida) where I‘ve been a several times! And my dream destination is Pitcairn Islands 🇵🇳 - hope to visit this once in my life (I already ordered some jars of honey from there).
I‘ve got a motorcycle (Kawasaki: ER-6f (2014-2018), Z1000SX (2019- ) and like to ride in the Swiss mountains.
I love to cook and bake (and try out to imitate food I learned from other countries I visited). And I love single malts (I‘ve got a collection).
I’m an engineer and work in the IT department of the Swiss Post 📯.
I live in Spiez (13´000 people) at a lake, near the Swiss Alps and a half hour journey by train from the capital city Berne.
To my dear US friends: I‘ve got more than 60 postcards from the 🇺🇸 - Thank you! But I‘ve got about 50x the round Global USA Forever stamp (mainly the green one). And you have so many cool stamps (Fall 2019 I found Sesame Street, Transcontinental Railroad, Woodstock, John Lennon at a smaller post office in Florida). You may put 2x USA Forever (2x63p) & additional stamps for 19p, too (Total: $1.45)! You would made my day!
An meine 🇩🇪 Postcrossing-Freunde: die Flockenblume ist eine hübsche Blume - aber als Briefmarke habe ich sie bald mal 100x erhalten!!! Ich weiss, es ist wohl die einzige 95 Cent Briefmarke, aber ihr habt doch so viele andere schöne Briefmarken die man mit einer 5 oder 15 Cent Blume kombinieren kann 😁 Für mich sind Briefmarken immer wie eine 2./3. Postkarte! Danke!!
Happy postcrossing!
