Hi there!
My name is Maria. I'm from Moscow - the city where you can never get bored. I am a journalist. I write articles for different glossy magazines. Most of all I enjoy traveling. I've been to 49 countries but still have so many places to see! Anywhere I go I send a bunch of cards to my friends and pen pals which I made through postcrossing. In some countries (Georgia, Macedonia, Jordan, Bosnia and Herzegovina) it was a real challenge to find stamps. But I always have luck. Among my favorite destinations are Portugal, Brazil, USA, Serbia, UK and Thailand. There are some countries where I still haven't been but dream to go to very much - New Zealand, Japan, North Korea, SAR, Kenya, India. Anyway that'll be great if your postcard will encourage me to visit your country/city.
I'm a big fan of swimming. I train a lot and hope that one day I swim Bosporus. My favorite swimmers are Alexander Popov and Michael Phelps.
I love cars and speed. I do test drives for magazines, travel by car all around the world and take part in races.
I love to communicate. So please write on a postcard more than "hello", "happy postcrossing" etc. Write something about you, what is the greatest place, where you've been, the love story that happened to you, funny things you've done in your life, memories from childhood. I love all your stories!
Oh, I study Serbian so feel free to write in Serbian.
Мне можно писать на русском.

Of course I will be glad to receive any postcard (just don't like multi-view, greetings, religious cards) but much more happier I'll become if you send me smth from this list:
- Disney & Pixar cartoons (esp. Tinkerbell, Marie from "The Aristocats")
- Totoro and all characters from studio Ghibli
- Futurama (I love Bender)
- anything connected with such bands as The Beatles, Queen, Pink Floyd, Muse, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, Michael Jackson. Maybe your favorite band?
- cars and motorbikes (my favorites are BMW, Porsche, Fiat, MINI, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, but in fact all cars are great esp. rare, race, cabrio and old ones)
- I'm a big fan of swimming so any swimmers (esp. male) will be great. In fact all male sportsmen will be great ))
- landscapes, nature (esp. mountains, rivers, lakes, sea beaches, waterfalls, sunsets)
- erotic/sexy
- vintage and old fashioned postcards
- black&white genre scenes
- famous landmarks of your country
- art and paintings
- book covers and book characters
- famous people from your country with stories about them
- airplanes
- the Moomins
