Reactivating my ancient @postcrossing.com profile because sending out and receiving random postcards from all over the world feels like one pleasant way to feel like a human on this planet with other humans these complicated days. Off to the post office to get my stamps situation in order!
A new triangle-shaped U.S. postage stamp commemorates the Postcrossing project, connecting people globally through postcard exchanges.
Less than 2,500 postcards to go until Postcrossing hits 86,000,000 registered postcards... 🤯
It’ll probably happen later today — want to play along? Guess the sender and recipient countries of card 86 million in the replies!
And here we are, 86 million postcards! 🥳 Well done, everyone!
The lucky one was ES-888468, a postcard that traveled from Spain to the USA in 22 days!
Aaron recently visited Malaysia and came back with a whole collection of postbox sightings for #PostboxSaturday, from classic red Pos Malaysia boxes to a lineup with a surprise yellow one in the middle! 😍 Naturally, they all had to be fed some postcards!
Look what arrived in our mailbox! 😍
A small local magazine from Germany featuring an interview with postcrossers Christian, Katrin, Lisa and Moritz. And yes, they showed up like super stars in matching Postcrossing t-shirts… iconic!
Does your town also have its own magazine? Spread the word!

Rainy boots, sand *everywhere* and a few hundred new baby pine planted! 💪
