Want a postcard from Switzerland?

Want a postcard from Switzerland?


I have over 600 postcards from all over the world in my collection and am always interested in swapping. I don’t have a trade album, so just tell me what kind of cards you like.

I can always obtain

-flag cards
-map cards
-city views of Neuhausen, Schaffhausen, Winterthur or Zurich
-landscapes (Rhine Falls, …)
-Heidi
-people in traditional costumes
-cats
-cows
-churches
-trains
-the Mole (Zdenek Miler)
-Sheepworld

It may take a little longer to get unusual cards as I live near one of Switzerland’s major sights and the stores all have the same small selection but I will do my best to fulfill your wishes.

Due to bad experiences, I'd ask that if you contact me first, you send your card first.

None of the Swiss UNESCO sites are close to where I live so sorry, no UNESCO cards.

I reserve the right to refuse swaps.

If you are interested, either e-mail me directly at merguezfrites(at)windowslive.com or, if you are a Postcrossing member, send me a private message on the official site or the forum (my username is swisscowgirl).

Please note that if we will be swapping more than two (Europe) or three (rest of the world) cards I’ll be sending them in an envelope (written or not, your choice) to save on postage. I prefer my cards to be either written and stamped or, if you are sending a multi swap in an envelope, unwritten. I am not a stamp collector but appreciate beautiful stamps.

My favorites are

-all things food and drinks, especially recipes, coffee, beer, and whiskey
-maps, including subway maps
-ice hockey
-trains, train stations, ships, buses
-bridges, locks, dams
-badminton
-ski jumping hills
-mountains
-castles, forts, fortresses
-all things Native Americans/First Nations
-people in traditional clothes
-musical instruments of your country
-your country’s royalty
-odd shaped cards
-city views, especially aerial ones
-night views
-sunrise/-set
-religious buildings
-French bistros/brasseries
-Robert Doisneau
-Route 66
-Amish people
