Pray for Ukraine 🇺🇦 If you need to know anything about my country and the ongoing war - feel free to ask me. I will share my story/story of my town with you for everybody to know the truth.

Hi stranger,
I'm a Ukrainian old-fashioned gothic girl. I adore art, cinematography, literature, philosophy and photography. Fond of collecting postcards, stamps or any antique stuff. I love hiking in mountains and wandering dark forests, also recently I got into dancing (contemporary).

I`m deeply into slow and arthouse cinema. As for literature, I adore F.Kafka, J.Ballard, Burroughs, T.Mann, E.A.Poe and dark and endless Lovecraftian worlds♡ I'm always open to new recommendations, literary discussions are welcome as well.

I collect and love everything old and eccentric, so you can pick for me something you hesitated to send to other postcrossers. If it is a used vintage card, even a bit damaged, - I love them! Just put it in the envelope and don't forget to write an ID🍀

On the back of the card write to me about your day, recommend me a good book, movie or music, e.g. write a playlist. Or tell me about the postcard; I'm sure it is special. Beautiful stamps are appreciated too.
