Although I’ve started collecting postcards in the past, it wasn’t until this year that I started swapping postcards either through Postcrossing.com or via direct swaps with people in Facebook and Reddit communities.
The aim is for me to have at least one postcard from all of the countries in the world. So far, here are the countries where I have received postcards from:
Australia 🔵 Austria 🔵 Bosnia and Herzegovina 🔵 Brunei 🔵 Czechia 🔵 China 🔵 Finland 🔵 France 🔵 Germany 🔵 Hungary 🔵 India 🔵 Italy 🔵 Japan 🔵 Kenya 🔵 Malaysia 🔵 Netherlands 🔵 The Philippines 🔵 Portugal 🔵 Romania 🔵 Singapore 🔵 Slovakia 🔵 Switzerland 🔵 Taiwan 🔵 United Kingdom 🔵 United States of America
If you wanna send me a random postcard, feel free to mail it to:
Rey Anthony Ostria
P.O. Box 125
Legazpi City Post Office
Legazpi City, Albay 4500
THE PHILIPPINES

A little bit of note regarding sharing of the backside/message side of the postcards. I have redacted the parts in which the senders write something personal (about their lives) but I have kept the ones that talk about facts regarding the places or things depicted in the postcards they send.
Also, in my Postcrossing and Postcard United profiles, I’ve asked people if they are okay with me sharing the message side.
Here are the latest postcards that I received so far. Please note that there are multiple pages for this.
