The Why of the Situation

     I have only just recently started collecting postcards. Well I purchased ones for myself when on trips for about 2 years now but I rarely get the chance to travel anymore so that has dwindled a bit. However I recently joined a postcard exchange group on couchsurfing and joined postcrossing to become more active in the postcard scene. Thus far I have 54 postcards about half of which are ones I purchased myself and the other half sent to me through the postcard exchange group on couchsurfing.org. The first postcard I sent on postcrossing was received about 3 days ago so I am eagerly awaiting my first received postcard.
 
   I started collecting postcards as a way to document my travels but now they are more of a way to travel without traveling. The thing is, I recently realized that while receiving postcards has let me connect a bit with the people sending them, in most cases I know absolutely nothing about the country or place they were sent from so I've decided to start this blog to share the postcards with the world but also to document a little bit about each place and sometimes each person who sent me the cards.

   I also started a penpal relationship with a boy in China who is about 2 years younger than me so I'll be sharing some of the things I get from him as I receive them.


   I am always interested in learning new things and would love the exchange postcards with anyone. If you're interested in an exchange or just in telling me a little bit about yourself or your country I'd love to make another connect. You can find all my details in the Contacting Me page linked at the top of the blog. Wishing everyone a great day and lots mail themselves.
