What do I collect / like?

I'm collecting postcards since I'm a young girl. But I also like to write postcards and make someone happy with a postcard.

I have a long list of themes I like to see on postcards - I'm sorry! But there are soooo many beautiful / fantastic / wonderful / awesome cards and I'm interested in so many things...

And I don't mind if you send me a similiar card to something I already have e.g. another view of Castle Neuschwanstein. 

So here is what I like:
