Generally speaking - I would like to understand the world where I live and the people within it. That`s why I´m fond of reading and would like to find penfriends. And I´m proud to be rather an old-fashione​d person.

People from Europe, preferebly from Finland, Latvia, Belarus and Poland. Currently I am very interested in Belarus, its history, daily life, politics, Belarusian language and literature. So people from Belarus are especially welcome!
Interested only in friendship ( no romance!).

History and culture of Eastern and Central Europe.  Internationa​l relations. Christian denomination​s.

Classical (Bach, Sibelius, Grieg, Pärt). Gospel music

Too many to name. But recently I have read books by Yakub Kolas, Anna Politkovskay​a and Norman Davies.
