Sent my first five today! These babies are headed for: Germany, Russia, Spain, Italy, and China!!

Self printed these

It was another rainy day but managed to mail out last week of August’s remaining cards. I hope they’ll arrive quickly! :)

[Mailed 8/28]

From Belgium, South Korea, and Germany. ❤️ I genuinely love all 3, and I am especially touched by the pigeon postcard and personal message on the reverse. 💗☮️🕊️

Looking ahead to Halloween. Painting Fall stuff will let me fantasize about cooler weather.

I’m from India 🇮🇳 and would love to swap postcards with fellow Postcrossers around the world!

I’ll send a postcard with a handwritten message and some beautiful Indian stamps. 📮

In return, I’d love to receive a postcard from your country with some handwritten note. 🌍✉️

Anyone interested in a swap? 😊

I don't know if this has been said here already but I saw it on the forum where they copied it from the discord, that World Postcard Day has an address request limit of 5 and not 10 anymore due to just alot of people that will be requesting on Oct 1

just an unofficial notice,

Sure as you notice that 2 of the envelopes are missing the stamp... It's because I was out of stamps... So I took the picture before going to the post office... Since I'm sending mail from Germany sending a postcard or 20 grams envelope... the price is the same. That's why I prefer to send 2 postcards (or once I managed to fit 2 postcards and 2 teabags)... The individual postcard, are for people who wrote that they prefer a card and didn't want an envelope and the other one... I just didn't have a long envelope like that at the moment...

Hope they will arrive fast enough to the receivers.
Traveling to those countries + one private swap that will travel to India

Was traveling through MIA and was able to pickup some postcards while waiting on my flight, so excited about the holographic Miami postcards. Does anyone have experience sending them out since they’re sturdier and much heavier? Should I use an envelope and extra stamps?

Outgoing cards to two new postcrossers who've never received a card from my country.

These are my outgoing postcards this month.

I would send more, but the postage fees are quite high. :)

Hey mich würde mal interessieren wie lang der nächste Briefkasten von euch entfernt ist? Also wie lange müsst ihr dahin laufen oder fahren. Und aus welchem Land kommt ihr?

Outgoing to Germany x 2, US, and Japan.

Sent my second batch of postcards today! And I sent one to a new country: Chile!

Also I recently went to Poland and found so many beautiful postcards that I can't wait to send out 🤗

Handmade with acrylic markers and fine line pen

I've been Postcrossing for many years. Yesterday, I received a literal letter with no postcard for the first time.

I've received blank postcards in envelopes with a letter included before. I've received folded cards before. But never before yesterday have I received an actual letter with morning resembling a postcard included.

What would you do in my situation?

I haven't exchanged a postcard with anyone from these countries ( I did with a few from South Korea but I would love to do more) so if anyone is interested please dm or comment ✨

I live in Switzerland most of the time, but I often visit Bosnia, my home country. Since postage is cheaper there and fewer cards are sent, I prefer to send postcards from there while in travel mode. As usual, I was there in the summer and got eight addresses. I already chose the cards and wrote the messages and dates, but I didn't have time to go to the post office to buy stamps. Now I'm back in Switzerland. Should I send them from here to ensure they arrive quickly, even if the postmark is incorrect, or should I wait until I'm back in Bosnia to send them? It will be either October or December by then. Thanks in advance for your advice/opinion :)

Today I received my very first batch of post cards!

I know it happens. Cards get lost or maybe the receiver just isn't into Postcrossing anymore. It's just such a bummer. 😢

A wonderful band-tailed pigeon card from US.

It really feels like magic when you tempted to check your mailbox everyday you come back home, and suddenly one day the card manifested itself and arrived across time and space and multiple postpeople.

For reference: first sent card received on 1 Aug, my address was drawn on 16 Aug.
