Europa Stamps on Postcards.

Hello World!

“I like it, when people think about what to send each other, in my view, this is the spirit of postcrossing... unfortunately, there are so many people just trying to send as many cards as possible, chasing a stupid record, forgetting what postcrossing really is about.”

I'm Maria (or Eive), photographer and traveler. I live in a village in the south of the Komi Republic, Russia

I love horses and have been riding them since childhood. My parents have kept horses for many years. They taught me to appreciate these incredible animals and to find a common language with them.

One day, my friend and I packed our backpacks and went hitchhiking to another country. It was an incredible and intense experience in my life. We met many interesting and kindest people, lived in the mountains without communication, but with the most beautiful view in the world.
After this trip, I forever realized that I could no longer live my whole life in one place and I wanted to visit the whole world. The most important thing is the desire and courage to take the first step forward into the unknown; there may be many new opportunities and chance encounters there

I like to photograph my life, draw, read, create things with my own hands, learn English

This year I became the owner of an old house in the forest and am now renovating and restoring it. An amazing place that you want to return to again and again

I love choosing a card and stamps for each recipient. Sometimes this process can take me more than one hour.

I will be glad to receive any postcards that you yourself would like to receive. I like interesting postage stamps (especially with nature and animals). It would be great if you could include a few. The more the better (unless it costs you)

I especially like collecting certain types of postcards:
- horses, equestrianism
- butterflies
- drawings/photos of animals, nature, insects, plants (botany)
- National parks
- old, vintage
- the universe of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts
- do you draw postcards? This is great! I'll be glad to see them
- artistic painting
- on the topic of hiking and traveling (tent, camping)
- my big dream - postcards from the series: Twin Peaks, Lost, The Vampire Diaries, Shameless, Money Heist
- based on films: Twilight, 1+1, Pride and Prejudice, Fight Club, Knocking on Heaven's Door, Captain Fiction, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Wild, The Notebook, Where the Crawdads Sing

I will be totally honest with you. I’m interested more about what you write to me then I am of what the postcard is.
Tell us:
- what non-tourist, interesting places would you advise me to visit? Travel recommendations. I will definitely include them in my trip when the time comes.
- about the happiest moment of your life
- What advice, life lessons would you give to your younger self?

Do you want to send an envelope? Please! I don't mind.
