Hi!

I live in Melbourne, work as a web application developer. I like the open source systems and everything about it. I enjoy seeing handwritten mail from all over the world in my mailbox, that's why I'm on Postcrossing.

I like to travel and see places, by car or by bicycle. I spent some of my vacations riding in European countries: Poland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Czech and Lithuania.

Every country looks much different when you're on bicycle rather than from the car or tourist bus. You don't miss those little bits that make the image and somehow you live the life of locals, not just watch them. And yet you move fast enough to see many places. Czech is my love for cycling.

I'm originally from Russia, moved to Australia a couple of years ago. You may write your postcard in Russian if you'd like to.

Now some hints for you about the choice of a card:

I prefer POST cards, NOT GREETING cards unless that's for a reason. The difference between two is that postcards are designed for being mailed "as is" and have address / stamp / text areas while greeting cards are not. For example, most foldable cards are not postcards and neither is a random picture with a stamp attached to its back. I don't mind ad- or freecards if they're good.

Please write a bit more than just "Happy postcrossing". Among the other things, I would like to know your favourite song (best one ever and also from recent ones), what is your favourite movie, and what do you think is the best place in the world.

Which cards? Well, I like a lot of topics (choose the most rare if possible):

- Map cards, especially those with colorful drawings of people, attractions or activities
- Covered bridges
- Recipe cards
- Lenticular cards
- Skydivers and skydiving, paragliders, Airplanes and aviation, spacecraft
- Northern or Southern lights
- Ratatouille cartoon
- Trains and railroad
- Cards related to hiking and camping
- Bicycles
- Cards with the picture or scheme of the mountains, with names and altitudes of peaks, Сards showing a ski resort and a plan of its skiing tracks
- If there is a national holiday in your country these days, please send me a greeting card for it and write about it,
- Birthday card for my birthday (15th of September)
- U. S. states. Me and my wife want to collect cards for all the states. So far we don't have: Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming
- A postcard showing something special about your place or country, its history, your national food, language, traditions, clothes, architecture
- A card from a place near you which is worth visiting
- Funny or unusual card
- City night views
- ...and cats :) Yep, I like those cute little tigers.

You can also have a look at my favourites, any card like these would be great.
