Hi there. I'm Maria, 32 y.o., living in Berlin with husband and our very spoiled cat :)
I'm originally from Kyiv, Ukraine - it is more than 1100 years old city. You all would like it, if you ever come here. People here are in general hospitable, although rare smiles.

I'm an Internet advertising manager. My hobbies are exploring cities and collections of stamps and of sugar packets (about 5000 now). So please send me your card in an envelope, if possible. I have a male cat named Muscat, as a sort of wine. :-) He's smart one, so I teach him some simple circus acts.

It's interesting to imagine how people in other countries live, and I check every received address at Google Maps to see new buildings and unusual landscapes.

If you don't know what to write, you can choose between:
- 3 things/persons coming to your mind when you hear "Ukraine"
- Where and why would you like to live? (I'd choose Berlin or Stuttgart, Germany, because of their spirit of antiquity, combined with industrial present, pleasant landscape and mild climate. UPD: moved to Berlin in April 2017. :-) )
- Some words on your language with transcription
- 3 your favourite songs

If you don't know, what kind of card to send, here's some ideas:
- Olympic games 2021
- Christmas cards in December and January
- underground lines plans
- royal families
- Benedict Cumberbatch / Martin Freeman / Sherlock 2010-2016
- pin-up
- Futurama
- tulips
- cats (esp.maine coons)
- national cuisine or flags
- rock stars (esp.Oomph, Rammstein and Наутилус Помпилиус)
- well-known paintings, esp.something by L.da Vinci (not Mona Lisa, I have 3 same cards at this time:) )
- a typical tourist card (!!), if you are from small country (Mauritius, Trinidad and Tobago, etc.
- sea views
- aurora borealis
- Maiden Tower from Azerbaijan
- Pisa Tower from Italy
- Banksy or old London photos from Great Britain
- Stuttgart; Stadtschilder; Marlene Dietrich; stamps Tierkinder, Deutsche malerei from Germany
- Inge Löök`s old ladies from Finland
- старые фото Петербурга/Петергофа, Гаврила Лубнин (!), коты Татьяны Родионовой или Васи Ложкина, и особенно - марки с дикими котами, если вы из России

But everything is welcome! :)

для посткроссеров из России: подписывать открытки на английском - не нужно! :) И давайте быть вежливыми друг с другом - политике на этом сайте не место!

But all this is not necessary. I look forward to any card and any text.

I'm glad to be at this website and hope that my postcards will please their recipients.

Happy postcrossing!
