Hello! My name is Jeffrey and I am a geologist living in Rochester, New York.

Russian Postcrossers, if you would be willing to send some Russian style envelopes please message me so we can work out some kind of swap!

I would love to receive something that you think I should see from your country or the area you are from!

If you are an older person I would love if you could write me something about an historical event you lived through or witnessed, and what you thought about it at the time. I am very interested in hearing first had accounts of something I may have only been able to read about in a text book.

If your not sure what to write I would be interested to know the oldest building you have seen, what your city/town is most famous for, or the first thing you remember seeing on the news (for me it was either the inauguration parade for Bill Clinton's first term, or a report on refugees from one of the Yugoslav Wars).

If you have any of the following I would be interested in them, but by no means feel limited by this list:

-Soviet themes
-Space exploration, especially Yuri Gagarin and Sputnik
-Historical sites
-Military history
-Breweries
-Ships
-Geology or natural sites
-Anything associated with ancient people
-Vintage cards
-Myths and legends from your culture
-National costumes
-Fauna of Belarus (So far I have Little bittern, Seven-spot Ladybug, Tengmaim's owl, Lynx, Wild boar, European paper wasp, and Osprey)
-Self made

If there is room on your card if you could write something in your native language with an English translation that would be appreciated.
I very much like self made cards, and I am also very interested in newspaper clippings, bus tickets, coins, or anything of that sort from your area.
