May 11, 2022 - Postcrossing is a very special place for me as it helps to discover so many about peoples culture. Due to recent events, I hope that Postcrossing will remain as non-political project. So please, do not write anything political, terrible or Russophobic towards me or my country. And also - I do not want to recieve any card connected with current events - please, try to understand me. However, even during these events, I can't appreciate Russophobia and will definitely report on your xenophobic attitude. Many thanks and be tolerant! 🤍💙❤️

Hello! ¡Hola! Привет! Hallo! (PLEASE, READ TO THE END!)

About me: I'm Denis Davydov. I'm a 3rd-year student in the Saint Petersburg State University School of International Relations. In the university I'm learning Spanish, it's hard for me, but very interesting!
I live in Saint Petersburg, 2nd largest city of Russia and I suppose the most beautiful city of the country and Europe. It's located in the Northwestern part of Russia, near the borders with Estonia and Finland.
I am philatelist. I´ve been collecting postage stamps for many years. Now I have a collection of ≈9k postage stamps from 224 countries and territories. The link can be seen above!

Somehow, I´ve managed to visit countries on 4 continents!
Africa - Egypt and Tunisia;
Americas - Dominican Republic and the United States;
Europe - Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Spain;
Asia - Indonesia, Turkey, Singapore.
Also, I'm travelling a lot around Russia, already have 18 regions of 89 - cities of Moscow and Saint Petersburg; republics of Adygea and Karelia; Krasnodar Krai; oblasts - Kalinigrad, Kaluga, Leningrad, Lipetsk, Moscow, Novrogod, Pskov, Rostov, Sverdlovsk, Tver, Tula, Voronezh and Vladimir.

I'd love almost every postcard, however my favourites are:
- art (especially Flemish Renaissance and Impressionism)
- airliners
- cityscapes
- famous places of your city/town/village/region/country
- map of your country
- flags of countries/regions (official or former official)
- maximum cards/maxicards
- metro/subway maps
Для соотечественников - прошу вас по возможности не использовать марки с орлами, их невозможно отвести! Буду очень благодарен!

Please - write down several words in your own language! I'm polyglot and try to learn basic words from different languages. Many thanks!

Looking forward to see your card in my postbox. Best wishes and Happy Postcrossing!

!P.S: I love postcards, but my love for stamps is much greater. It hurts me every time, when I remove stamp/-s from a postcard. So, I would be grateful for postcards sent in an envelope! Postcards will not be damaged and I'll get stamps!
