About Me

Hello

My name is Karine and I'm a French-Canadian and Swiss, living outside of Zurich, Switzerland. I'm 37 years old and work as an HR Manager. On my days off, I take care of Maxim, my tree-year-old son.

I like: museums- all sorts: history, art, design. photography and others. books travel movies design stores like Marimekko and Ittala postcrossing penpals Japan Cirque du Soleil nice stamps magazines: read monthly: Real Simple, Easy Living UK, Jamie, Annabelle (CH) and Monocle, but really like as well: Dove (I), AD all editions, Olive, Travel & Food, Lonely Planet. Open to lots of others eg about movies, but NOT about music, craft (only- some is ok) and religion.

Favorite Books

Most books from Amélie Nothomb, Eric-Emmanuel Schmid and Banana Yoshimoto Some of my favorites include: Eat Pray Love Don't Move Never let me go We need to talk about Kevin I really liked all Nick Bantock books: the collages are great! Japanese novels in general

Favorite Television

The Tudors Mad Men Grey's Anatomy Brothers & Sisters House M.D. Private Practice and several series from Québec e.g. Sophie Paquin & La Galère

Languages

I speak French, English, German and some Spanish.

About my son

His name is Maxim. He was born on 31st December 2007, so he's almost 3.

He loves tractors (and that's an understatement)! He also likes sainchaws ( I know, I know!) and Duplos. His favorite animals are parrots.

He likes Cars, Bob the Builder, Sam the fireman, Caillou and Shrek.

He wears a plaster everyday, mostly on his finger as a fashion statement.

Food

My favorite food is Japanese, but I really like Italian, French, Greek, Morrocan and Scandinavian too!

I love cheese, desert, chocolate (white is my favorite, but all others do the trick too) and candys (old fashion are the best!).

I really like white wine (pinot grigio is my favorite), red wine (mostly Italian) and sodas (cream soda & root beer-usually once or twice a year). I need my daily cups of chai latte.

I don't drink coffee and hate licorice.

Favorite Movies

All movies from Jeunet & Caro (eg Amélie) Once upon a time in America Lots of movies from Québec ( eg J'ai tué ma mère, les invasions barbares, C.R.A.Z.Y., etc.) Before Sunset, Before Sunrise Love Actually (great feel good movie) Most of Tim Burton's movies Some Japanese Animes

Comment: Your packet of postcards arrived today and they are all lovely! The side of the envelope didn't survive the trip, so I was worried about the contents, but they all stayed together and intact. :) Thanks so much!
