[Interview] : Andréa from Brazil

This is our second interview. This time we flew to the land of samba and soccer. Andréa (aka andreaeiko) is from Brazil. She has been a member of Postcrossing for over 4 years (1471 days).

1.How did you come across Postcrossing?
I started to collect postcards in 2005. In the same time, I knew Sabrina Mieko, who told me about Postcrossing and about our favourite hobby. I loved the idea to get postcards from around the world and…here I am... :)

02. Do you have any other interesting hobbies or do you collect anything?
Hmm…I think I have to tell…LOL …I collect cute pigs…My collection includes toys, pencils, notebooks, mugs, key chains and, of course, postcards ! It is not a good combination but, when people see some pigs, they remember me…LOL But I love this..:)

3. Show us your mailbox, your post office or the place where you post or keep your postcards!

4. Your favorite received postcard to date, and what makes it special.
My fave is a postcard from Rio de Janeiro. It shows the Christ and Baía de Guanabara at night. It is a common view, but this one touched me…It makes me think about the good things that make us happy… :) And, of course, my pig postcards collection…
Bad megapixels…LOL...sorry

5. Have you ever been in Portugal? What do you know about Portugal?
I’ve never been in Portugal, but it is a dream that I hope will come true…
I want to visit many places… specially Lisboa, Guarda (to visit my sister Marta), Porto and some castles… and the land of my boyfriend’s father, Viseu.
Portugal had some great poets like Fernando Pessoa and Camões. It has a great writer, Saramago. Literature is a marvelous thing to me. Just in time... I received a postcard with the monuments of Pessoa and Camões… thanks, Graça!
