About Tuula...

I live in northern Finland and like children, traveling, reading, music and nature: animals (not frogs or snakes!), flowers and trees.
I like happy, colourful, funny cards and prefer single views, nature better than houses
and statues.
I hope that cards are from your own country.
Mukavaa päivää = have a nice day!

🍠 Taiwan looks like a sweet potato.
🌐 Taiwan is located north of the Philippines and south of Japan,about 180 km off the southeastern coast of China.Geographical location is East Asia. The climate, economics and culture are biased towards Southeast Asia.Our country is now a fusion of multiple diverse cultures,like the 16 indigenous tribes,Dutch,the han chinese,the Hakka people,the Hokkien people,the Japanese people, the immigrant from South East Asia.
💛 Taiwan's vibrant cities are full of tradtional temples and beautiful moseums.There are also place of incredible naturw beauty to visit on this island.
💚 I strongly recommend trying Taiwan's street food. Taiwan is also the birthplace of the world-famous bubble tea!🧋
💙 Taiwan has the highest concentration of convenience stores of any country around the world! Hawaii has surfer culture, Japan has sumo culture, and Taiwan? Scooter culture! convenience stores culture! bubble tea culture!
💜 In 2019, Taiwan became the first country in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage.I think this is an advancement in human rights. The important thing is not that you can't or must to do, but that you have the "right to choose".
💕 能保有選擇是一件非常重要的事。

Hello!
My name is Jacqueline. I was born in Cologne. I am married for 30 years.
We have 2 children and 5 grandchildren.
Dealing with them is always an experience.

Our favorite vacation destination is the North Sea.

I live in early retirement due to an incurable illness, but motivate myself every day not to lose sight of the positive things in life. In free time and as my mobility allows, i design and manufacture pearl jewelry. Crocheting and knitting are also some of the things I spend my time with.

MY OPEN SECRET
"I am the creator of my life, I don't allow anybody to do this job for me"

Take care of yourself and don't lose sight of the finer things in life.
I wish you the strength to master the otherwise sometimes tedious things.
Thanks for reading.

[As of 1 March 2023, I've moved, so if please request latest address for tags - official address has been updated.]

42 year old married ornithologist, working in San Diego, California. I enjoy bird watching, iNaturalist (photographing birds, insects, plants, fish), sport climbing, camping in the desert, al pastor tacos, movies, chess and strategy board games, RPGs (currently a GM for MÖRK BORG), running, and collecting bird-themed stamps!

I've had a long love of "snail mail" knowing that people are excited to find something handmade/handwritten in their mail box (I certainly am!). However, I send much more than I receive, so I was happy to discover postcrossing in December of 2020.

Books I read in 2022: All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, Cities of the Plain, Book of the New Sun, Urth of the New Sun, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, The Twilight World, and Stay True.

Things I watched in 2022 (not many really released in 2022): Top Gun Maverick, The Batman, Licorice Pizza, The Northman, What We Do in the Shadows, Andor, Severance, the Before trilogy, Dawn Wall, Meru, Ford v Ferrari, Paris is Burning, Rumblefish, Last Men in Aleppo, Of Fathers and Sons, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, Brawl on Cell Block 99, Gomorrah, The Blacksmith, Val, Don't Look Up, Becoming Cousteau, Nomadland.

I look forward to hearing from you! I am curious to read about what you can see in a short walk from your home. Any favorite restaurants or views? What games do you like to play? What do you see out your kitchen window?

As for post cards and stamps, I enjoy:
🦜 birds
💡 lighthouses (Leuchttürme)
⛵️ sailing ships
♟chess
🦋 butterflies
🐠 fish
🚂 old trains
or a local view from your town or city.

But *any* card is welcomed, damaged, ad, etc. The message is most important to me, and the more stamps the better. If not more expensive, sending the card in an envelope is preferable as I collect the stamps. I am always grateful for additional used stamps inside.

If you are a stamp collector, or interested in a direct swap, please contact me. I can send you any recently issued US stamps.

Hello Postcrossing Friends--
First, I want to express my sorrow and sympathy for the people of Ukraine. Also, I understand that individual Russians are not responsible for the violent actions of their leader. Let's hope a peaceful resolution may be found soon.

I am a retired university professor living in Idaho with my cat Tommy and Clive, the parakeet.
One of my hobbies is making "art" and other useful things from salvaged materials. I was recently interviewed on TheArtMaker podcast at https://theartmaker.buzzsprout.com Examples of my glass pieces are at: http://encoreglass.blogspot.com
A few years ago, I built a greenhouse using old wood-framed windows and other salvaged building materials. You can see the process at https://cheryllyda.blogspot.com

Are you a fan of Agatha Christie, the mystery writer? If so, you'll find my tribute blog with over 300 annotated quotes from her books at: http://allagatha.blogspot.com

The online version of a book of fictionalized stories I wrote about life in my city is posted at http://walkingpocatello.blogspot.com.
Photos taken on my walks around town are at http://pocatellobackside.blogspot.com

In 2013, it was my honor to host Postcrossing's Little Mail Carriers. Read about their visit to Idaho here: https://www.postcrossing.com/blog/2014/02/07/the-little-mail-carriers-in-pocatello-idaho

The postcards on my "favourites" wall are ones I do not have yet, but whatever you send will be very welcome. Your message on the back is what interests me the most.

Happy Postcrossing!

P.S. If you wonder why my postcards are postmarked "Salt Lake City, Utah," it's because our local postal sorting center is now closed. My postcards travel about 265 kilometres before they officially begin their journey to you.

Hi there! I'm Meghan, a Los Angeles native who loves art history, theatre, fun facts, and travel. Thanks for helping make the world feel a little smaller one postcard at a time :-)

# data[].attributes.body
If you want to send a postcard to me, any lines in your language on the card are highly welcomed! Translate it in English for me please! And please, don't put your card in an envelope. Let it get the damage it deserves.

Hello! I live in Saint Peterburg. I am a student, I study German literature. I enjoy watching movies, cooking, listening to rap music and traveling. My favourite movie directors are Kusturica, Haneke, Trier, Allen, P. A. Anderson. I am also interested in Wiener Moderne, its artists, writers and composers.

My favourite series are Shameless, The Big Bang Theorie, The Scrubs, Doctor Haus and Doctor Who (with Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant). The sence of humour of the main characters is extremely close to what I found funny in everyday life.

I'm always happy to get tourist cards or cards, that are somehow connected to your cultural signs. Once I got a card with a drawn picture of the shop "Black Books" from London and it was love from the first sight! As my studies are somehow connected to art, I'll be grateful for pictures of writers, artists, directors, actors and actresses from your country.

If you don’t know what to write on the card, please, recommend me your favourite book or movie. You can also tell me your secret or describe your past few days. I’ll be happy to get a card with lyrics of your favourite song or maybe a piece of your favourite poem. Maybe you want to tell me the most ridiculous and awkward story that ever happened to you or a national/family recipe? Everything that comes to your mind is great.

If you have a hard time choosing a card for me, this is a list of cards, which I like most:
— tourist cards, if possible from your town or region
— night views
— photos or pictures of kisses, erotica
— The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue covers postcards
— famous people from your region
— anything connected to Gone with the Wind
— vintage cards, old cards
— black and white pictures (if you have that card that you find too dark and black to send to anyone — it’s a perfect one for me)
— pin-ups
— cards with recipes
— harry potter characters (my favs are Fred and George Weasley — and who's yours?)
— cards with screenshots from movies
— E. Schiele, E. Hopper, H. Toulouse-Lautrec, G. Klimt, A. Kuindzhi, N. Roerih, any other artists
You can also check my favourites. But of course I'll be extremely happy with any card you choose for me!

I’m only not sure if advertising cards are acceptable for me, BUT if this AD is strongly connected to your life (for example, it’s an AD of the coffeeshop that you visit every day, or a museum, where you met your future husband or wife), than I’ll be happy to get it and read your story.

I’m also looking for penpal friends, so I you feel like we have a lot of in common, feel free to suggest me writing each other some letters!

P.S. I put my address on the postcard to be sure for postcard's safe traveling. I’m not trying to ask you for a “thank you” card!

Happy postcrossing!

About Irina ...

I live in the acient Russian city of Ryazan 180 km from Moscow. I am a mother of two adult daughters and two charming grandchildren. I am a history teacher by profession and now retired. This is the age of happiness. For me, this is a time for meetings, communication with family, friends, walks in nature and doing my favorite hobbies. I paint oil paintings, visit museums and exhibitions.

I enjoy listening to classical music, jazz, going to concerts and music festivals. It is a great joy for me to learn choral singing and perform with our local amateur choir. From a young age I have been dancing and Argentine tango lessons give me energy and inspiration. During the pandemic, I decided to strengthen my immunity by hardening. This led me to winter swimming and now I can swim all year round, even in severe frost. I couldn't even imagine how useful and exciting it is. One of my hobbies is travaling in Russia and abroad. These trips expand my consciousness, give a lot of bright impressions,and the most importantly, show how beautiful and diverse our planet is and we are all one.
I like to laugh and welcome funny stories, jokes and humor.

So, I am glad to see your postcards, with your little stories about yourself, your hobbies, the country in which you live, its history, culture, traditions. Write about what fascinates you, inspires, pleases and makes your life interesting.

In connection with recent events, I want to appeal to everyone who will read my profile.Our community unites people from all over world. Through our messages, we share the best we have. I am deeply worried about the events in Ukraine. I have compassion and pray for peace. My father is Russian and my mother is Ukrainian... I have two homelands, I have absorbed two cultures and they are equally valuable to me.
Sincerely and best wishes, Irina
