Greert Vinck is 29 years old. He lives in Belgium. He has collected teabags since he was five years old. Now he has more than 12,000 teabags. Perhaps you think it is strange to collect teabags, but a lot of people do this. There are about 200 teabag collectors in Belgium and the Netherlands. Greert Vinck also exchanges teabags with people from France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Greece, Sweden, Iceland, the USA, Canada, Brazil and Argentina. If your hobby is collecting teabags, why not exchange them with him?
