Pros
- get snail mail that is not a bill :-)
- make pen friends overseas
- Free to join group & stamp is cheaper than airline ticket or excess baggage
- travel virtually with no jet lag
Cons
- waiting for a few weeks for return postcard from another postcrosser
- postcards often come from the top 4 that have more members ie Finland, Germany, USA and The Netherlands
I have been a member collecting postcards since 2008. I love sending off a handful of postcards then checking the mailbox to find a few weeks later snail mail instead of just bills. It is a community that joins the internet with old fashioned mail in the mailbox.
Tips
- cheaper to buy postcard with postage included
- try writing a postcard in a foreign language introducing yourself
- collect postcards from more countries the more you send postcards
- try buying postcards with scenic views, food or animals from your country.
