It’s really good @Levitan17. great changes. I would have a much easier time picking out a card and knowing what to write to you now. not only because you directly give suggestions, but also because I have a clearer image of who you are
Yes, it’d better now.
I only have on little point
I would put this sentence
I have no problems in receiving AD cards or Handmade ones, especially if you make FOOD PACKAGES cards!! I simply LOVE them!!
directly under your wishes of cards and then followed by writing prompts.
Here goes, other feedback is also welcome.

@elanlei, I started wondering what is an Erasmus baby?
I only think of sports and studying programme with this word, but it’s more/different thing?
Sorry if this is too personal.
Your profile is short, but still gives information about you.
@S_Tuulia, I would say an Erasmus baby is a baby of a person who has done an Erasmus exchange and a local or of two former Erasmus students. I know several romances that have begun during an Erasmus exchange period.
I’ll go ahead with my profile.

Yes, this is right. In my case I did the Erasmus exchange, married a local and had a kid. According to estimates there are over a million children like her, direct results of the programme.
I’ve had some lovely messages from others who have done an Erasmus exchange or hosted people doing it. It’s been such a defining thing in my life that I do feel I need to include it in some way.
I think yours reads well but it’s a bit heavy on the emoji for my liking.
I think that’s a great, concise, friendly profile.
I´d love some feedback too

Thank you so much in advance!
Ohh, ok! I didn’t know the baby has that name then! And a million babies that way, wow. Cute .
(Have you ever gotten a card from another who has Erasmus baby? Or maybe is one themself?)

One card from a grandmother of an Erasmus baby, several who have hosted someone and quite a few people who have done one, some of whom have found their partner that way. None from Erasmus babies themselves yet. I hope I will receive some one day!
I would like feedback on my profile as well

Thank you for your feedback
Looking at your wishlist, the only card I could send you right now is an early seventies map card from somewhere I’ve never been to in Wales. I would feel bad about it because you sound nice.
Thanks for the feedback. I tried to highlight that I acutally collect viewcards and any veiwcard would make me happy. Usually those are the ones almost everyone The other things listed are just special themes but a view card would not make me less happy.
I am sorry that was not clear. Do you have suggestions about how to rewrite? Or to make it any clearer? Maybe I should list general view cards as top of the list?
Edit: I tried to rephrase my profile so I hope things will get clearer now. Still I am happy for any suggestions. I do not want to give people the impression I am demanding things.
Maybe I should list general view cards as top of the list?
That’s the trouble, not all of us have access to view cards. Where I live, you can only buy view cards in one tourist information shop and one bookshop. Even if they were open, it would not be safe to go there. We are in tier 3 meaning a very high alert level.
I’ve managed to buy some bulk lots of cards off eBay but they are much older than I am and none show my area. I’ve got plenty of other cards to send. I don’t even like view cards myself.
Maybe I should list general view cards as top of the list?
Yes, I think that would it make 100% clear, that you like viewcards the most. It would be a bit repetive in your profile, but I don`t see a problem in here.
I have the same problem about view cards. If people ask for view cards from my area I cannot provide these either. However I always buy a lot when traveling.
Since you do not like viewcards yourself I get why you do not have many of these in stock. I find myself buying cards that I personally like (even if those are not the cards I collect).
But thanks, I try to make clearer that still other cards are welcome as well. As in official Postcrosing the sender can send whatever they want I am totally OK with that. So I try to make that clearer as well. Thank you.
@Jarana: Thanks for the feedback. I did not really put that I like viewcards on Top of my list as a bullet point but above all I tried to highlight that fact.
I just got back into Postcrossing and found the new forum. And I must admit that some topics have made me feel a bit insecure about my profile (I know it’s a personal issue of mine, I’m working on it )
I myself like to get profiles with wishlist because I enjoy the hunt and creation of sending a ‘perfect’ card. So I have added a wishlist to my profile, but I don’t want to come across as demanding in any way! I don’t want to put off people, especially newbies.
Could you check out my profile and vote?

Thank you!
Hey Manon, looking good, not demanding at all!
For me the list feels very long, but that’s mainly because you listed your favourite artists. Maybe when you write them between brackets behind the last bullet, that will just give another view of the same.
As indeed the feeling that you have a perfect matching card is great, but you need some info for that!
I agree with this - the long list of names means nothing to me and it’s just confusing.
Do they all fit in a category? Would saying something like builders (such as Bob or Wendy) be enough? It would make it a lot easier to read.
