Postcards from AMSTERDAM!

by Krystynn - last update: Jan 19, 2004

These are just some of the postcards I brought back from AMSTERDAM, a place I seem to frequent pretty often over the years. Sorry if I can't scan my entire collection of postcards... Too tiring! So here's just a selected few for you to oogle! :-)

My interest in Postcard Collecting started when I was about 10 years old. My favorite jetsetting aunt sent me my very first postcard all the way from Anaheim, U.S.A. and I was hooked immediately. As a teenager with limited funds (read: pocket money), I don't have the means to travel abroad so I had no choice but to rely on my kind relatives to send them to me.... Even when I traveled with my family as a kid/teen, I didn't have enough pocket money to buy up all the lovely postcards I saw in the souvenir shops.

However, the minute I reached 17, and with my parents' blessings, I started working part-time and managed to save enough to start traveling the way I enjoy and thus started my lifelong interest in collecting postcards....

Today, I have over 10,000 brand new postcards in my private collection. Soon, I'll be sending them off to have them scanned and stored in CD roms.

I hope this little story will inspire you to start your hobby in postcard collecting. :-)
