Welcome...

My name is Igor. I am originally from Ukraine, but now I live in always-sunny California, USA. I am an engineer and enjoy science and technology. I love camping, backpacking, traveling and exploring the world with my wife and 2 young sons. I collect postcards, stamps and other symbols of philately (postmarks). Post is the entity through which world and history are represented. I enjoy seeing postcards and stamps that show off and explain the importance of your particular culture. Those postcards that make me want to come visit your native land. Those that bring historic and cultural value to your land, nation and your people.

I would like to receive postcards with travel and exploring themes:
- Maps
- National Parks
- Country vistas
- Cities
- Architecture
- Battlefields
- Military Forts
- Military Bases
- Historic signficances
- Something unique about your place
- Vintage views, especially of places that do not exist anymore.

If you live in a small town - I would love to receive a postcard with your towns name on it. I think we overlook the small places in the world and concentrate always on the large, capital cities.

as well as technology of your people:
- Ships
- Cars
- Airplanes
- Trains
- Military
- Space

********** STAMPS ************
I love stamps and use souvenir stamps on postcards that I send out.

If you are European and your country has EUROPA stamps, I would really appreciate if you use them!
*****************************

No, cute cards with kittens, puppies, kids and holidays, please.
No, Ads, please!!!
No envelopes, please.

If you are going to send animals, make sure they are the native to your place.

I am really excited, I can't wait to see what happens, where it leads me and who I will meet. The world is getting smaller through the internet, but I think through the postcrossing we can see how wide and big it really is.
