Meet zasa from Bern, Switzerland. She is 26 years old and a lover of all things postal. Like many of us, she combines her other hobbies with Postcrossing.
- How did you come across Postcrossing? What got you hooked?
-
I came across Postcrossing in the Autumn of 2006. I had moved back in with my parents for a short time and it was so boring in the evenings that I took to surfing the Internet. Don’t ask me how I found postcrossing.com, but I did. It is my little addiction (little? would my boyfriend consider it such?). Since I was a little girl, I always wake up when I hear the postman’s motorcycle – I love snailmail – I love stamps – I love to write and widen my horizons via Postcrossing.
- Do you have any other interesting hobbies?
-
Besides Postcrossing? Is there any time left besides this hobby? Yes I do have one! Lomography. That’s a community who shoots from the hip! Feel free to visit us at lomography.com or my personal photoblog streulicht.com. The best thing of both hobbies is that sometimes I have the chance to combine them! So I make my own postcards from lomos I’ve taken. I’m also very active in travelling notebooks where I can use my lomos.
- Show us your mailbox, your mailman/mailwoman, your postoffice or the place where you post or keep your postcards!
-
My postman/woman says every day: “Oh my gosh! My work wasn’t so interesting till you moved in my quarter!” My post office team wasn’t excited about becoming Internet stars so instead I took photos of my actual room where I have hung the most beautiful black & white cards I have received.
This photo shows you little zasa in Prague, sure for exploring the post world there!
And this is the mailbox where I drop most of the stuff for Postcrossing in it!
- Show & tell us about your favorite received postcard to date, and what makes it special.
-
I have a received a lot of cards that I would call favorites. It all depends on the when the card was received and there is always a chance to top my favorite one. I am happy if I get cards every day – they brighten my horizon. So, all cards are, in their own way, favorites!

Hello!
I discover lomography in Portugal, but I don't think that I have a comunnity.
See you in the next meeting.
nice to see this from a postcrosser nearby :) When I used to live still at my mother's, the postman also once told her, that me and another girl in the village were the only ones sending nice and colourful mail ^^
I received a beautiful card from Sara just this month. Nice to see here being featured :)

I love the postcards on the wall. I would do that, but my 200 pound English Mastiff would think dinner was served. He loves to eat paper.
Great pictures.
Did someone send you toilet paper :-)
Nice to see Sara here! She actually sent me my very first postcrossing postcard! :)
