Hello!

I'm Olga from Belarus, Mogilev. My country is famous for its hard history, hospitable people, lots of forests, swamps, rivers and lakes, perfect biathlon results in the Olympics, and it's also the most potato-eating country in the world! I'm not an exception and my favourite dish is draniki - small pancakes made from grated potatoes and usually served with sour-cream)

I've just learned about this website from a friend and I'm surprised that I haven't heard about it before. The idea is so romantic, enjoyable and fun!

I am an English teacher, working with both children and adults, and an interpreter. I really love my job, but in childhood I wanted to be a Russian and Literature teacher, a psychologist or a journalist.

I'M IMPRESSED BY CARDS (ESPECIALLY BLACK AND WHITE ONES) DEPICTING CITY IMAGES (ARTISTICALLY PHOTOGRAPHED, BEST OF ALL NEW YORK, PARIS OR SAINT PETERSBURG), STREETS, STREET LIFE, STREET FASHION, CITY DWELLERS, CAFES, COFFEE, RAIN, PUDDLES, STREET LAMPS, BENCHES, BRIDGES, PARKS, WINTER IN TOWN, AUTUMN, ROADS, WATERFALLS, FASHION, PAINTINGS (ESPECIALLY ABSTRACT ONES), STYLISHLY PHOTOGRAPHED FOOD. IF ANIMALS - LET IT BE CUTE OWLS OR HEDGEHOGS.

And will you please write a beautiful and catchy quote on the card? It can be the one by a famous person, or from a book, or a movie, or a song, or even by you - your motto in life or some life lesson you've learnt) That'd be great!

As for the hobbies and things I like, I enjoy reading, watching good movies, rock and jazz music, art (it's a pity that I can't paint or sing), poetry, water - everything: rain, fountains, ponds, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, seas, oceans (some of my friends call me "a water-person", maybe in my previous life I was a mermaid)), swimming (can swim for hours without getting tired), - rollerblading, sleeping on a train, travelling (especially to Western Europe) and I like animals. (I've got two rats at home, their names are Eggplant and Ginger))
I adore autumn and hate hot stuffy weather.

I'm inspired by art, big cities, autumn, the people I love and the people I admire.

Happy postcrossing!
