I would love any postcards that you think capture where you're from. Maybe a famous landmark, a favourite place, a person/animal/plant of significance...whatever you think captures where you're from.

I also would LOVE to receive postcards from this list:

-Cards with mythical creatures (unicorns/sea monsters/dragons)
-Cards with sloths, octopuses, moose, snowy owls, whales, clams, Labradoodles, beavers, narwhals, sea cows, or geese on them
-Deaf culture cards
-Cards with a language (other than English) on them
-Cards with book covers
-Outer space or beneath the ocean cards
-Children's book illustration cards - not anime
-Farm/rural cards
-Cards from the 70's and earlier
-Activist cards
-Cards with quotes on them
-Cards related to history/historic events
-Cards with service dogs :)
-Cards made from your locality that aren't tourist cards

I would be so touched if you would share something important with me. Maybe a belief you have about life, death, consciousness, or humanity; a quote or phrase that keeps you going; some of the most important things in your life; your wish for the world; something you fear and something that gives you hope; one of your hopes, dreams, or aspirations; a message you would want to share with the people of the world.

I know that's a big thing to ask. I do believe that Post Crossing can be an incredible way to make connections with people around the world and encourage peace and community which is why I dare ask it in the first place ;)

If that above request overwhelms you too much, I also enjoy hearing about your day to day life, your favourite things to do, interesting facts about the place you live, a phrase in your mother tongue, or beliefs you have about Canada and Canadians.

I hope to hear from you soon!
