About Alyona...

►►I love using as many as possible interesting and non-standard stamps and appreciate if you do the same for me

►►I have two postcrossing accounts (assante and assante2), thus sometimes we get matched with some people twice :-)

►►Dear senders who speak GERMAN or SPANISH: please better write to me in your native language!

Hi everyone! My name is Alyona (25), in relationship but not married, childfree, living and working in Kiev. I try to be active all the time and taste as much as possible in this life.
My job is related to supply chain for a global pharma company, what means being a real "office bound worm". In order to couterbalance, I try to do as many as possible open air activities, and the favorite ones are alpine skiing and backpacking (In August 2011 I had a chance to travel 2 weeks through deserted Fan mountains at Pamir-Alai region(Tajikistan), it was astonishing!).
Also, some time ago I discovered for myself a joy of horse riding. Horses have the very special aura which they share with people. I can't get to the stable however as often as I'd like to, because it's quite expensive in the big city. You can see one of my "little" friends on the avatar!:-)

Regarding CARD SUBJECTS: you can send me really anything (inclusively "self made" and interesting AD cards), but with only important exception: one thing I totally DON'T LIKE (unfortunately) are standard tourist cards.
Therefore please-please-please be so nice as to use:
---> NO ordinary scenery cards with titles "Greetings from..." and so on
---> NO city views/common local tourist attractions
---> NO multiviews(=many small pictures on same card)
---> NO urban and modern architecture scenes, buildings.
For some reason I don't appreciate such genre at all, so it would be the best solution if you just keep them for many other people who will enjoy...
Of course, no problem if you don't have others than tourist cards - I'd be already happy with at least a SINGLE view, even better - showing a little piece of nature.
Thank you VERY MUCH in advance making an effort and respecting the receivers' preferences - in my opinion, it's the main idea of PC!

Some of card subjects which would make me extra pleased:
♥ HORSES - my constant No.1 preference
♥ Mountains, volcanoes(It'd be great if you indicate which mountain is depicted and it's height!)
♥ wild nature view/ any beautiful landscape
♥ alone standing trees, forest, river, sea or ocean
♥ 4 seasons, especially winter and snowy landscapes
♥ old style/vintage posters, reprints, old cards from flee market
♥ arty things: paintings, reproductions, illustrations...
♥ black and white photos, especially expressive portraits
♥ history/archeology related, antique items and interiors, indigenous people in traditional dressing, old architecture, ancient culture etc (in other words, anything to do with "old times")
♥ astronomy related: space, stars, planets
♥ stones, minerals, geology
♥ traditional or modern dancing, ballet
♥ funny cartoon
