Hello Dear Postcrossers,

I’m a Siberian who works as a software engineer in a Silicon Valley-based fintech startup. I have a passion for cars, transportation, technologies, reading non-fiction books about espionage, spies, intelligent services worldwide, hiking, camping, good food, traveling.

I like history, antique things, board and card games. Enjoy to play in backgammon.

Try to visit every local automobile museum whenever I travel.

So far my favorites are
- Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Museum in Salt Lake City, UT
- National Automobile Museum in Reno, NV
- UMMC Auto Museum in Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Russia

In 2023 I finished the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) thru hiking. It took me the 4ish months to complete it. It's a hiking trail within California, Oregon, Washington states from Mexican to Canadian borders.

It’s so much amazing experience! I met a lot of interesting people from all over the world. My friend made a 15 minutes movie about our journey https://youtu.be/Qe81o9KGJEk

For a long time I travel a lot using the trustedhousesitters platform. Love it!

I would be interested to know what vehicle are you driving? Why did you choose that model? If you are not driving please mention what kind of public transportation you like to use like a tram, a bus, a subway/metro or something else. Would be cool if you put your most used route number. Mine was a bus #409 when I was a student :)

Any kind of postcards are welcome!

Thank you so much!

Note: I see that many postcrossers are looking for a missed postcard id. You can easily use the “request help to find an unknown ID” form and a support team will do their best to help you find the right Postcard ID. Also there is a nice 'travel' feature in your settings. Whenever you travel you can send a postcard from that country.

Happy Postcrossing!
