I_

Hello!
My name is Alexey, I live in a very beautiful city of St. Petersburg, RUSSIA.
I am 39 years old.
In my free time I like to drink tea and play computer games, walk in nature and ride a bicycle in the forest with my wife, and ski in winter. On weekends - sauna and barbecue in our country house.
And I especially love it when at the end of the weekend I come to a city apartment, and in the mailbox there are postcards from around the world - it's great!
I make tea and, together with my wife (she is also a postcrosser), we read what you wrote on the postcards, as well as consider postcards and stamps.

♥♥♥ I really like postage stamps. I collect stamps from all over the world ♥♥♥
Therefore, if possible, stick as many postage stamps as possible on a postcard or envelope. I'm not against envelopes.

If you need IDEAS I would appreciate:
○ US States
○ Map (countries, regions, cities, metro or drawn maps)
○ Old red brick building
○ Trams / metro trains / metro stations
○ Retro steam locomotives
○ Postage (stamps, beautiful or unusual mailboxes, postal transport)
○ Retro posters
○ Bridges
○ Castles
○ Christmas and New Year cards (only on the eve of these holidays)
○ COVID-19, especially stamps and postmarks

Not sure what to write? I would be interested to know:
○ How much did this shipment (envelope + postcard + stamp) cost you to me, and what could you buy with this money in your country.
○ This and subsequent points are in development :-)

Please, write:
1. Start with the word "Hello" in your native language.
2. the date the postcard was sent.
3. outside temperature in degrees Celsius.
4. the number of inhabitants of your hometown.
5. postcard ID.

Please do not send postcards that are custom sized or shaped (square, round, oval, triangular, curly or oversized).
I also ask you to keep postcards for someone else on the following topics: advertising, military, political, religious, KEEP CALM, animals, flowers, pin-up, handicrafts, films, cartoons, recipes and phrases.

If you are from Austria and there is an opportunity please send me the Brexit 2020 stamp. ♥ This stamp is great!
