Whoa, not sure what kind of folks you have around you and relationships with them, but when we travel (or on christmas, easter, etc) we send postcards to our closest friend and family. So do they.
Its personal, I always draw little figures of me and my wife on the picture side, climbing mountains, swimming from sharks, paragliding etc. depending on situation.
My parents have them all on the wall, so do some friends (well not all of them). Its a small gift, showing we think about them not only by bombarding them with photos/videos all the time.
Its a nice tradition, the best kind of mail you can get, and I see no reason stopping it.
- distances 5y agoI agree! It's nowadays even a more special occasion to receive a postcard than it used to be. I make sure to send one from all my holidays for my grandparents and godchildren (which itself is a nice tradition, no need to be part of a church or make it religious -- kids love having their own uncle/aunt).
- lotsofpulp 5y agoIt does sounds like a nice tradition, but as a mid 30s American living on the coasts, I have never sent or received a postcard, nor seen one of my friends do it when we go on trips.
- ghaff 5y agoIt's certainly far less common than it used to be. Ditto for Christmas cards; I think maybe I get them from three people who aren't businesses that get money from me and often don't get around to sending any myself.
- jmuguy 5y agoI agree, I always love sending postcards when I travel. Its a shame that 99% of the physical mail any of us receive is trash. Particularly traveling internationally there will always be something awesome about being able to mail a postcard and give the recipient a little piece of the place where you're visiting.
