About Pavla...

I'm 30 y.o. Russian girl married to an Iranian and take turns living between the two countries for now. I've also authored a guidebook on Iran. Right now I'm in business of selling Iranian handmade souvenirs and carpets (feel free to take a look at our site: www.mastoo.com).
I'm very thirsty for travels and I hope to be able to see all the world.

I'd love to receive postcards telling something about culture and architecture of your country (for instance, with some interesting landmark of your native city and etc.). I'd also like cards with works of art from your country.

But of course all types of cards are welcome!

I also collect stamps - so if you are sending a postcard in an envelope you can also put inside one or two stamps from your country!
Actually I collect lots of "rubbish" :banknotes, used metro-phone-internet-bank cards, tickets to museums-theaters-etc. and all sorts of transport and so on. That's be a cool surprise to find smth of it in your envelope (of course, if they won't charge you more for that on post). Or we can agree on a private swap, and I send you smth in return from Iran.

I'm waiting for your cards impatiently!

NOTE FOR SWAPPERS (READ CAREFULLY):
I keep getting quite a lot of requests for direct swaps and I'm very happy to exchange. I have good supply of Iranian cards and stamps, but recently I have to send them all from Moscow, Russia (in envelopes, so that Russian stamps won't get at Iranian card). Here are some reasons for it:

1. In Moscow it takes me 5 minute to send the card, while in Tehran I have to go to Central post (which is already an hour away) and wait in a queue.

2. It costs me less than USD 1 to send an international card from Moscow, while the same card from Tehran would cost USD 6-7.

3. Due to recent inflation in Iran they anyway do not glue stamps at cards or envelops anymore (or they'd have to cover all the card with stamps :), just make some ugly mark which means the price was payed. So what's the use? Stamp collectors can always ask me to enclose some Iranian stamps separately in my Russian envelope.

Hope I did not disappoint you! Waiting for your swaps!
