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 🔵 Bosnia and Herzegovina 🔵 Brunei 🔵 Czechia 🔵 China 🔵 Finland 🔵 France 🔵 Germany 🔵 India 🔵 Italy 🔵 Japan 🔵 Malaysia 🔵 Netherlands 🔵 The Philippines 🔵 Portugal 🔵 Singapore 🔵 Slovakia 🔵 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
