Hello! I live in Tomsk, it's a city in Siberia, Russia. I love languages and I work with them (I'm a University teacher). Some day I hope I'll be able to speak more. My nickname was made when I was a child from a Portuguese version of my name (Irene), but written differently. I am interested in Portuguese, German and Czech. I speak fluently English and French and teach them to others. I really love French music and good British (or Americain) TV-series (for instance, I'm a fan of Doctor Who / Merlin / Downton Abbey / Sherlock). I also love traveling and visiting my friends in different parts of Russia. I have a nice cat Fanny named after the main character of "Mansfield park" by Jane Austen. We are very fond of each other)

Postcards make me feel excited. I welcome all kinds, but I would be pleased to receive cards with:
*bridges,
*trains/trams,
*Vincent Van Gogh

*music,
*other kinds of transport,
*photos made by yourself,
*UK and London,
*black&white (with coloured accents or not) / sepia,
*famous people/royalties (black&white or not),
*just people,
*old ladies by Inge Löök,
*photos by Robert Doisneau,
*retro images,
*Claude Monet,
*flags,
*funny ad cards (not many people like them, but I do)),
*House MD / Grey's Anatomy,
*sea,
*food / something delicious,
*multiples,
*shamrocks! (I'm quite a fan of St.Patrick's Day)
or just something unusual or interesting))

and I'm mad about beautiful stamps))

I don't always like typical city views, except for really beautiful or artistic. I also prefer cards that are thick, not thin (if it's possible) and new, not old. Thank you!

I put into my favourites some of my received cards that I like most or just cards of others that are interesting to me. So these are just examples of what I admire, not my exact demands! I strongly believe that a received card should be a lovely surprise :)

this is my second account (our Russian post is too slow and I'd like to receive as much nice cards as possible!). My another one is here: http://www.postcrossing.com/user/Iriska14

I haven't been an active postcrosser for some time, but I always register all the cards as soon as I get them, don't worry!

All my received cards, including tags, RRs and swaps are here: https://picasaweb.google.com/109702279991527487537
