Hi there! So, basics first. My name is Paulo Magalhães and I’m 29. I live in Shanghai Slovenia with the cutest of all girls and our two cats (lilo and grub) which have our vacuum cleaner as their worst nightmare.

I’m from Portugal and I enjoy living in different places around the globe – there’s so much to see, why sit still? China has been was our home for the past 2 years, and in the past I have lived in the U.S.A. (Boulder, Colorado) and The Netherlands (in Utrecht). Both experiences were fantastic to me and I get embarrassingly excited when I talk about them.

Oh, I love to receive mail, postcards in particular. So, a few years ago I started postcrossing.com to help anyone to receive postcards on their mailbox. It was meant to be a small website but it grew to proportions that I never expect. Nowadays, 3 to 4 postcards are received every minute somewhere around the world due to it.

I’ve a degree in computer science which is a nicer way to say that I’m a computer geek. I’m frequently accused of being unable to stop myself from pushing anything with buttons. Can’t really deny it, I’m a millennial after all. I’m very keen on technology, in particular online ones.

If you want to reach me, you can do so by email at paulo at mentalstring dot net. If you want to send me a postcard, email me for the address.
