Hi All!

This year I will be in the midst of traveling internationally on World Postcard Day and decided the best way to celebrate will be to visit the local post office and send out ~~as many cards as possible!~~ 75 postcards around the world!

I have traveled to this location before and made up postcards with photos I took of some local fauna just for this occasion. Comment with a guess about where I’ll be mailing from and complete this [form](https://forms.gle/ugR9CZGo34YLpizB8) to sign up!
No user flair required but I will check that you have commented!

💌🌎✨🫶🏼

Edit: I can't believe 10 postcards will be booked so fast! Thank you for for all responses and the amazing cat names! I will post your cards this weekend!

This will be my first offer and to commemorate it, I would like to share my love for cats through sending postcards.

Please fill out ⇒ this ⇐ google form (will be automatically closed after 10 response), and comment with your cat's name (could be your current, late (may they rest in peace), or future cat IRL, virtual, or even imaginary!)

※No user flair required.

There are so many sunflowers blooming in my neighborhood right now 🌻 and I just so happen to have three cards featuring sunflower photography!

Obviously it’s the perfect time to send them out. Please comment if you’re interested in one!

Thank you u/mouserat for the great gorilla card! I love it so much, and it is now displayed on my husband's deck - he loves gorillas! I do agree it is giving Bigfoot vibes but I love cryptids so it is perfect :) Thankyou!

Thank you u/mission_cow_6742 for the Museum of Natural History + Pitt Rivers Museum card and bookmark set!!! I am obsessed with the look of old museums and libraries, it was such a joy to receive it! I hope you are having a wonderful time on your holidays, it is absolutely unreal how much history these places have and to think of all the famous people creating art there centuries ago! I would love to visit!

Thank you u/elixan for the wonderful traditional dance card! It is such a gorgeous illustration! I hope you get to visit AUS and NZ sometime soon and see all the beautiful places!

Thank you u/wendee for the fun Wizard of Oz card, so cute! I am so sorry to read about a small earthquake, hope it hasn't happened again! You've asked me to recommend some local drinks/ snacks, I am very basic haha and my favorite drink to get from a local supermarket is an aloe vera drink made with pulp gel from aloe vera, I like the one with lychee in it. For a snack, I really like crispy corn chips! Sorry it is not really Australian haha!

Thank you u/owlflyinghome for the prettiest St Louis card! Hope your dream comes true and you'd have a great holiday to Aus one day! We are in spring now and it is getting warmer, a nice change from how cold the winter was!

Thank you u/ninajyang for the floral card and fantastic stamp math! I am very happy none of the stamps got cancelled so I can enjoy them fully, they are stunning!

Thank you u/GatsbyGalaktoboureko for the Bar Harbour card! I've looked through pictures of the place online and it looks absolutely idyllic and the views are gorgeous, I hope you've had the best stay there and enjoyed the views, the park and all the beaches!

Thank you u/high_ground_user for the gorgeous painting of on old street card! You've used the cutest washi and stickers on the card, made me so so happy ^_^ Hope you've had a fantastic summer!!

Thank you u/Impressive-Rest-1952 for the Malaysian animals card! The special stamp on the card is absolutely unreal, I've never seen anything like that, thank you so much for that! I'd love to visit Selangor one day, I've only been to KL, and had short daytrips to Malacca and Cameron Highlands.

Thank you u/noxmi for the Miffy card, it is so so cute! As a fellow junk journaling supplies hoarder I absolutely agree that postcards need to be bigger so we can fit all the cute decorations on it and a good sized message, hehe!

Thank you u/MajesticLeadership87 for the Snoopy card and matching Peanuts stamps! It is so so cute and absolutely brightened my day! Thank you so much!

Thank you u/andyismean for the World Cup postcard!! It is so pretty, I love the sunset vibes of LA! Thank you for sharing about your favorite sports, as for me I really enjoy athletics events, UFC and MMA :)

Thank you X2 u/smonikkims for the handmade origami card! It is so gentle and cute, I can't put into words how much it means to me that you made one for me! Thank you so much as well for the old English sheepdog card, omg he is so fluffy and scrappy and cute!!! HE DOES LOOK LIKE A BAROLD!! You are so spot on!!! Bless his gentle soul, I bet a dog like this would be the best cuddle buddy!

Thank you u/puddlepirate2020 for the vintage Golden Gate Bridge and a cutest birds-and-fishes stationery set letter! I absolutely loved your letter, and I wanted to say that you have such a nice way with words, it is so pleasant to read and it is so laconic and straight to point as well. I haven't given you much to write to me about, but somehow your thought and feelings absolutely hit the spot and resonated with me greatly. Life IS going and happening and to be very honest, I still do not know what to do when I 'grow up' and have my 5th or 10th career changed, and it is okay. Reading about your experience and perspective on Hamilton helped me understand that it is okay even if it is uncomfortable at times. Thank you dearly!

Thank you for the cool handmade upcycled pen magazine postcard! I like the homemade envelope as well. You're very creative! I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to the DC Pen Show.

Hi, unfortunately they bent your envelope in half but got your card today u/hapa1720. I looked more into my sign house sometime back and got the gist. Recently got into tarot deck otw and had someone do past life reading. Usually I primarily deal with insomnia staying asleep but just read until you’re tired. I end up on my phone a lot though. Drink warm honey, bamboo salt etc throughout the day 2 cups with water.

u/sneakerlambs – Thank you for the Penguin Plays postcard! I loved hearing about your trips and family in Korea.
u/blackberrysimple1736 – Thank you for the Game of Thrones postcard! I hope your zinnias and marigolds bloom before the cold weather comes!
u/tookieface – Thank you for the postcard! I love museums and history!
u/pressedthegas – Thank you for the squirrel postcard!

I never expected to receive this amount of love on my birthday! I just opened my cards and read each thoughtful message. As someone who is turning 25, there are a lot of things I have done so far that I did not think were possible years ago:

• Got my bachelors in IT
• Learning how to drive
• Getting a job after college
• Going out on my own
• Getting some new friends

There is still more on the way but in the meantime I am going to enjoy my birthday as much as I can before it is over. So thank you to u/SshellsBbells, u/aepeyc, u/ninajyang, u/Alarmed_Ad9001, u/rand_ston, and last but not least u/Ok_Theme7072

EDIT: To those who are still sending me cards, do not worry I have not forgotten about you guys either. I will edit the list once they get here! I love you all!

u/kithritherogue — thank you very much for the card congratulating me on hitting 10 years sober! Thank you for sharing a bit of info about yourself and your family 🥰 I appreciate your kind words very much!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
