Here, There and Everywhere!
This is a Travel Blog of sorts. As you may know by now I love to roam around, and always have to know what's behind the next bend. I especially love to hang out at unusual, quirky, and odd places. I imagine Postcards from… as a little interactive corner, where you can participate. If you share my passion, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a digital Postcard from… and tell me why this place inspired you (approx. 300 words and as many photos as you like). If you have your own website don't forget to mention it so I can add your URL and a little about yourself at the end of the post. Subscribe to the RSS feed, the orange button on the left in the navigation bar, and you will always receive the updates. So… keep 'em coming! Submit your Postcards from...
