Recently started Postcrossing again. Did it loads during my study while living alone, but I miss receiving letters ans postcards. No one sends anything anymore so hope this will make it fun again!

These cards will go to China and South-Korea.

Instead of focusing on newly bought things, this forum topic instead encourages postcrossers to go through what they already have. Come brag about your empty postcard boxes and empty rolls of washi tape!

#Postcrossing
Excerpt: “I still found it hard to wrap my head around the idea that a person could write down words, send them off into the world, and somehow those words would land in the hands of the person for whom they were intended. That people did this every day without thinking twice astounded me.” Image of bookcover: “When the Museum Is Closed” by Emi Yagi (author of “Diary of a Void”)

Is there anything as heartwarming and magical as helping a kid write their first postcards? We don't think so! 🥰
