Geography Postcards.

Hello, friends!

I come from Western Pennsylvania in the USA. I spend half of my time in Pittsburgh, and the rest in Athens, Greece.

You have the freedom to send the cards you like to send! It makes me sad to see long lists of demands not to send this, that, or the other thing.

This exchange has very strict rules: send viewcards only, and only sent from the location of origin. I follow these rules, unless you ask for something else in your profile. HOWEVER, these rules are not important to me at all! Please send me whatever you like, no matter where you are sending it from. If you need ideas for cards to send, see my interests and wishes below. I appreciate the effort that goes into each and every card that I receive.

When you write, can you tell me something about yourself? Here are a few ideas if you can't think of anything:

* Tell me something about your mother or grandmother.
* Tell me about a food that is strange, but delicious
* What was the happiest day of your life, and why?
* Tell me about one of the greatest struggles in your life.

I love stamps! Multiple stamps, especially ones that relate to my interests, will make me happy all day.
