She has been a member for over 2 years (946 days).I was 44 years old when I started postcrossing (putting it this way I don't need to rewrite my profile every year. Hah!) I work in the media. One of my hobbies is collecting funny newspaper headlines, which I frame and hang on the wall. I'm a minimalist, so I only have a few, so far.
Motto (taken from a song): "Take it easy baby, take it as it comes."
Another one: "Happiness is a skill that can be learned."
Here are some things that I like:
-art
-photography (especially black and white)
-children's book illustrations (made in aquarelles or in collage style etc. Czech Rep., Slovakia, Poland, Hungary seem to have a great tradition in this. Others also wellcome, but no comics.)
-kukuxumusu
-decorative patterns (fabric designs, wallpapers, painted ceramic tiles and such)
-plants and flowers
-butterflies
-seashells
-donkeys and horses
-streetsigns and instruction signs ("exit", "push", "no parking" etc).
-dance
-Buddha
US (specials):
- state flags. I already have a card with all state flags, but individual ones are still wellcome.
- Native American culture
- buffaloes
Canada (specials):
- state flags
- Canadian English, does it exist? Expressions? Words? Sayings? Teach me!!!
...well, I could continue this list forever, but enough for now.
You can see some of my cards here:

Please, no touristic holiday-on-the-beach scenes. Also: I hate sport events of all kinds, but sports as such are ok.
I'm not very sensitive when it comes to things like politics or religion, so feel free to be bold rather than politically correct.
I like to watch World Poker Tour on TV. My favorite player is Chris Ferguson.
My favorite music in 2006 was Pat Metheny Trio's Live CD. I have also listened to the Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell quite a bit. In 2007 I rediscovered Frank Zappa, whose music I listened to a lot in my youth. For me, Zappa will live forever! Duke Robillard will perform in Finland in June 2008! He is often in my CD-player these days.
Du kan gärna skriva på svenska. SVERIGE är ett av mina favoritländer!
He trabajado como traductora, así que puedes escribirme en español.
