What a great article! I 'vee been a member of Postcrossing since 2014, and I save every single one I receive. I love sending postcards and letters through the mail. I do have a few postcards that were sent to my grandparents. Those are precious.

So interesting! I've been involved in PostCrossing since the beginning of the year and have found it interesting. I had a woman in Germany who lives 2 hours from where my ancestors lived. I've just sent postcards of my town that I had printed from a photo I took. The only problem with that is I have to order so many. Do you just print out your postcards? I worry they might not make it to the other side of the world in one piece! When I was young I had several penpals from all over the world. I liked the letter format because I was able to find out more about them. But there is something special about postcards. I've started to send them to friends when we go on vacation. Just a way of letting them know I'm thinking about them. Thanks for the post.
