About Silouan...

I would very much enjoy receiving any kind of postcards but especially those that are related to things around where you live. Please tell me about your town, what you like to do, what the postcard is about, anything you consider interesting! It's great fun to learn about other places and what happens there.

I've not had the opportunity to travel abroad, but Postcrossing lets me visit and learn about lots of very interesting places--the places where you live--and very interesting people--YOU!

I love to be outside. I bicycle to work 52km/day round-trip, even in the heat of the summer in Arizona and have ridden over 44,500km--more than around the world! We have a tandem bicycle and my wife and I like to ride around the neighborhood. Two of my sons and I have backpacked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon five times (three times to Phantom Ranch--once from the North Rim--and twice to Supai). We also like to go camping and hiking in other places in Arizona as well. Camping in the back yard is fun, too, especially if we have a campfire and s'mores.

My wife, four children and I live on a half-acre in a suburb of Phoenix which we are turning into a little urban farm. It's a lot of fun to grow some of the food that you eat!

Привет! In college I learned to speak Russian but it's a bit rusty now, though. Пожалуйста, пишите по-русски!

Also, I'm not nearly as old as I look--just ask my mom.
