Postcrossing: A Journey of Connections and Discoveries

Shaina Tranquilino

January 29, 2024

In today's digital age, where instant communication has become the norm, receiving a handwritten letter or postcard through traditional mail feels like a breath of fresh air. It holds an undeniable charm that brings joy to both sender and recipient. This is precisely what Postcrossing aims to revive – the art of sending and receiving postcards from all corners of the world.

Postcrossing is an online platform that connects people from different countries through the exchange of postcards. It was founded in 2005 by Paulo Magalhães, a Portuguese enthusiast who wanted to bring back the magic of traditional mail and create meaningful connections among strangers.

The concept behind Postcrossing is simple yet powerful. Once registered on their website, members can request to send a postcard to another random member anywhere in the world. As soon as the recipient registers their received postcard, the sender becomes eligible to receive one in return from another participant. The randomness adds excitement and surprise to every mailbox visit.

What makes Postcrossing truly remarkable is its ability to transcend borders, cultures, and languages. Through this platform, individuals have the opportunity to learn about different countries, traditions, landmarks, and even personal stories shared by fellow participants. The colourful array of stamps collected along this journey further adds to the appeal for philatelists.

Participating in Postcrossing not only allows you to explore new places vicariously but also fosters genuine human connections. Every time you write a personal message on a postcard or read one sent from afar, it reminds us that we are all part of a global community with shared aspirations, hopes, and dreams. It promotes empathy and understanding between diverse cultures while reminding us that despite our differences, we are more alike than we realize.

Moreover, Postcrossing has become more than just an exchange of postcards; it has birthed friendships that transcend the virtual realm. Many enthusiasts have had the opportunity to meet their pen pals in person, leading to lifelong friendships and incredible travel experiences. These connections are a testament to the power of human connection and how something as simple as a postcard can create lasting bonds.

Postcrossing has also sparked a resurgence of interest in collecting postcards. The thrill of finding unique designs, seeking out rare stamps, or discovering hidden gems within one's own country has become an exciting hobby for many participants. It encourages individuals to explore their local surroundings with newfound curiosity, transforming even mundane trips into potential treasure hunts.

Postcrossing is more than just sending postcards—it is a journey that bridges gaps between people and cultures, fosters global understanding, and brings back the nostalgia of traditional mail. It serves as a reminder that despite our busy lives and digital interactions, there is still beauty in taking the time to connect on a personal level. So why not join this worldwide community and embark on your own Postcrossing adventure? You never know what surprises await you at your mailbox!

Hi! I'm always curious whenever I see your beautiful letters and the description says they're for penpals - I was wondering how you meet your penpals? Are they people you've befriended before you began writing to each other (e.g. friends you made here on tumblr), or do you use anything like postcrossing? Or a bit of both?

No worries if that's a private question though! Thank you very much either way, and thank you for sharing your art with everyone here!

Hello and thank you! 🤍

I met almost all of my pen pals on social media and I usually get asked to become pen pals by someone else online. I believe that mutuals on any site are the best people to begin correspondence with, because you already know each other a little and know that you have similar taste, aesthetic, interests, passions etc., even if you don't know a lot about their personal details. So I really recommend politely asking a person you follow and like, if they'd like to receive a letter from you (the person asking usually should be the one writing first). I heard about the other methods you mentioned but I don't have any experience with them unfortunately. I know that some people tag their creations with #penpalswanted or something similar to help find new pen pals out there. You can also make a post on your tumblr to find someone among your followers who'd like to know you!

I deserve a medal

I did a LOT of things on a day when I wanted to do exactly ZERO things.

Paycheck work, of course

Walked the dog for 20 whole minutes

Two postcards for Postcrossing (https://www.postcrossing.com/ , is fun, would recommend)

One note card for my next door neighbors, informing them that I’m going to have someone trim the bush that is currently invading their driveway and obscuring my gas meter, so they should move their car on the day that’s happening

Zoom meeting with the reverend who officiated my wedding, about a potential memorial service. She’s gonna do it! She will be designing a ceremony, and if she’s available, will perform it. (If not, she knows people. She’ll have someone available for it. Either way, the readings are good, and besides, I won’t be there.)

Got my first dose of Covid vaccine! /,,/

Target pick-up run

Serious talk about Jay with his dad

Serious talk about my remains with Husband; got a much-needed answer to a Big Question: It would be most comforting to Husband if I had a grave. So that’s another thing to look into.

Now, finally, I’m chillin on the couch with a drink, winding down after all of that.

Witchy Wishlist 2020 2021

This is my second year participating in @witchywishlists, but it doesn’t look like the account is active this year.

With so many in need of money (such as myself), I’m keeping most of this really inexpensive to free.

For physical items, I live in the US.

Coffee/Tea Mugs: my hope is to replace all the mugs lost in a fire in 2017. I had over a dozen, but many of them were destroyed. Funny, unique, weird, touristy, I welcome them all. Old, new, doesn’t matter so long as they can survive the dishwasher. I drink tea all day when the weather is chilly.

Quilting Fabric: I’m a quilter, and like 99.9% of other quilters, I collect and hoard fabric. My goal is to have a fat quarter (FQ) from every state (a signature fabric. Nebraska has a lot of corn and football, Florida has pink flamingos, Hawaii has big flowers I need more of) and every country. More is better! I eventually wanna create a quilt using all of these. I may never be able to travel, but I can have a piece of every place.

Hilarious Memes: I love dumb jokes. Dad jokes, puns, the works. I wanna stupid laugh and roll my eyes at the same time. Tag me when you see a funny meme you think I ought to see. I may not reblog it, but I may queue it to share the glory.

Comments: If you have an AO3 account, enjoy fanfiction, and/or love Dragon Age, I have an AO3 account that would love some comments. Keyboard smash is valid! A lot of my work is smutty...like, really smutty, but I do have fluff, angst, and humor. My work is 90% canon; I fill in the space left for the player.

Fanfiction: I need some new Dragon Age fanfiction. I like sticking with canon or close enough, and love in-character smut. Avvar-Cullen is fun (if I had the energy to write my version, he would be more of the Lead Hunter than the Thane), as is modern AU, and a few non-canon that feel very plausible. Stuff I don’t like is constant-angst (we deserve happy endings), most rare pairs (ask if curious. it has a lot to do with power dynamics.), r*pe/non-con/sexu*l assault, crossovers (think Sailor Moon meets DBZ), and changing the sexual orientation/identification LGBT+ characters (like making Dorian straight).

Fanfiction/fanart for me: I haven’t done much writing due to low motivation and not being able to sit at my PC for more than maybe 30 minutes at a time. I want to see more stories of my characters, but I just don’t have that drive to write. Call a love and need for validation. Receiving fics and art of my characters ALWAYS results in me writing. Every single time. I normally commission 2-3 artists this time of year, but this year it’s just not something I can afford. Make sure to tag me, and if you post it on AO3 mark it as a gift for me and AO3 will alert me. I will reblog the stuff you make and write if you post them here and tag me! Smut is absolutely welcome! If you want prompts, let me know. Just thinking about this is making me excited! My canon Grey Warden is Jasmine Amell. My first Dragon Age Inquisitor is Delylah Trevelyan. My favorite Inquisitor and who I went through Trespasser first with is Ghanima Lavellan. Smut bombs/Nonny-Fics are welcome!

Join Swap-Bot/Sendsomething/Postcrossing: A lot of us feel lonely and disconnected, desperate for human contact. We can’t get that right now, but we can get pretty damn close and for free. Swap-Bot is my favorite; there you can join groups of people with similar interests...and send things to each other. Think trade, but with damn near anything. Postcards, art projects, stories, scrapbooking, drawing, there’s something for everyone. SendSomething is more one-on-one and no trades are needed. You can find a random profile and send a postcard, letter, small gift, whatever you think they’ll like. Postcrossing is strictly postcards, but you can contact people and see about trades and being penpals. It’s worldwide (I’ve gotten postcards from Russia, Hong Kong, Russia, Germany, South Africa, and many other countries) and you also have the option of just sending and receiving from within you country. This helps the USPS, break from the loneliness, and improve a stranger’s day.

Amazon: It’s evil, I know, but some things simply aren’t affordable nor available elsewhere. I have a wishlist set up, and it’s both interesting and predictable. I can’t afford to spend money on myself for more than the necessities right now, and the most frivolous thing I can afford to buy is thread, but I’m waiting for a big sale at Joann Fabrics so I can order curbside pickup. Making quilts uses a lot of thread!

Buy my work: I’m a quilter and have a habit of making things because I can. The results in losing closet space. Please consider purchasing my work or commissioning me (emergency commissions are currently open to help pay off Jasper’s huge vet bill). You’ll be supporting a Disabled queer artist and crafter, and a small business. All items are one-of-a-kind (OOAK), handmade, and with proper care they’ll survive generations. You can buy my work here, and I ship worldwide.

Get vaccinated: If you care about the rest of us, get vaccinated. You’ll be protecting yourself and those around you. Millions of us have compromised immune systems (I have asthma, epilepsy, and a few autoimmune disorders), cannot be vaccinated because of this (I’m lucky and was able to get the vaccine and booster shot), and will die if we become sick with covid-19. Don’t be a plague rat; get the vaccine, wear a mask regardless of your vaccination status, and wash your hands.

Book recommendations: I’m a picky science fiction and fantasy reader. My favs are Mark Chardbourne, Kevin J. Anderson, Brian Herbert, Kage Baker, Pamela Freeman, Sarah J. Maas, Garth Nix, Brandon Sanderson...and I have a few others, but if you’re familiar with the storytelling these writers have, you’ll know what to recommend. I don’t use an e-reader because I need the texture and smell of paper to focus on the book.

Quilt Books/Patterns: I have quite a few books and patterns on my Amazon list, but if you wanna ask me what I have in order to buy it from a different shop, feel free to do so. I favor foundation paper piecing and traditional piecing and haven’t delved into applique yet. English paper piecing isn’t one that interests me at all. I’m subscribed to several quilting magazines and bounce around online to purchase patterns from specific designers. Quilt shops sell patterns, and if you’d like to see me make a thing with specific fabric, send me an ask with a picture of the pattern to see if I’m even interested. You’ll then need to purchase the fabric to go with the pattern, and the pattern will have the amount necessary. If still unsure, ask one of the people working there. Nearly everyone who works in quilt shops is a quilter. Quilt shops are locally owned and have high quality fabric, big chains like Joann Fabrics tend to have people who may only be vaguely familiar with sewing and lower quality fabric. Never buy batiks from Joann Fabrics; they cost the same as quilt shop quality but are absolutely crap by comparison.

Ask me stuff about quilting: I’m happy to answer! I love talking shop, and the only places I can do so are online and in quilt shops because I don’t know any locals nor do I have any local friends. Going out and meeting people is a life-or-death decisions now.

If you have questions, just ask.

Die!

What I did during my pandemic non-vacation

Right before the pandemic hit, my work was slow. My client stable was dwindling and so I set  the goal of finally compiling all my personal essays from the last 20 years into a book I'd call "The Unbearable Heaviness of Being". And then, serendipitously a  more literal unbearable heaviness of being hit.

Still, one would think a pandemic would be the ideal time to start that book. Maybe even start the "Letters from the Inside" book about my serial killer writing project for the last 10 years, or even my own memoir. I had nothing but time. I had to stay inside anyway. Nothing else was pressing, and I am usually especially creative during times of stress and hardship.

But lo!  I am also a procrastinator when it comes to a writing assignment -- even a self-inflicted one.  

So over the last three months I found every excuse not to write those long-form pieces. It seems like all I did was bathe, eat, eat some more, and lay around in bed, most often talking to the dog in guise of actually talking to myself. I spent an inordinate amount to time figuring out how to handle my grooming at home now that my external fleet of professionals were no longer available. Day after day I wore sweats or pjs (careful to change from day ones to night ones once the nightly New Year’s Eve-type cheering started, a new type of closing bell.) The one day I felt invigorated and optimistic enough to put on jeans I had to peel them off by mid-day unsure of how I ever wore such a tortuous garment. 

I felt comfort when I saw reassuring messages on Instagram -- which along with Facebook and Twitter, I spent an inordinate amount of time on -- saying that it was just fine not to produce anything during this quarantine. That is was an unprecedented time and one that was highly stressful so it is fine to do whatever you want to keep calm and keep on...  I did just that, or at least it seemed so. I felt like a sloth, eating carbs and sugar -- things for the last two years I carefully avoided. I texted exes, fought with feral Trump supporters, washed dry-clean only clothes. You know, indulged in the wildest of vices.

The shelter-in-place mandate will come to a close soon. Being in NYC, probably it will take longer than most areas to dissolve, but still the streets are getting a bit more crowded, and people seem to be back in my NYC apartment building, once again, hogging the dryers (which I then have to neurotically wipe down with disinfectant wipes.)

So I initially felt a bit down at what a failure I've been to do something productive during this time.

As a result, I decided to take inventory of my last three months. ***

- I applied for PPP (dealing with Chase bank for two months having  to re-apply three different times at their ever-changing directives, only to be told they couldn't verify my income and therefore I was turned down). I applied for EIDL,got $1000 payment and then was told that because inadvertently answered a question wrong -- these applications are super hard--I was denied and now they were only allowing re-applications of agricultural industry workers. Then I applied for freelancer unemployment, twice, only to not be able to get through, not be able to revise my PUA application and am still waiting to hear something, anything.  As such with  EIDL, PPP, SBA, WHO and all other pandemic-related acronyms, I now have a great fear -- PTSD, if you will -- of acronyms in general. No good can come from them. 

- I washed my hands -- and my dog’s paws -- a billion times. I also did way too much laundry because in times of stress and lack of control, my OCD (another scary acronym!) gets rampant and doing finite tasks makes me feel more in charge. I saged my apartment weekly, casting out negative energy and viruses and calling upon all good things to enter instead. The only entrance was made by my super who yelled at me for mentioning him in an article I wrote about my doorman who passed away from Covid-19. Still, I disinfected doorknobs, elevator buttons, and even the container of wipes, multiple times as if trying to free a genie in a bottle, to no avail.

- I tended to all sorts of medical tests for myself and my dog, culminating in standing a long line to get the Covid-19 antibody tests. (Sadly I was negative.) 

-I binged watched (Dead to Me) and cringe watched (White Lines), valuing a good hate-watch more than quality programming. 

- I read about 10 books, a few that have stayed with me in the best way possible, such as "My Dark Vanessa" and "Excavation".

- I listened to the full true-horror podcast "Let's Not Meet" - because sometimes the only way to quell true-horror is with true-horror. Hair of the dog sort of thing.

- I tracked down ARCs (one of the nicer acronyms) of books that will come out later this year so I could read them without any preconceived notions about them. 

- I finally watched the backlog of hoarded movies I had borrowed from the NYPL: The best of which was "Giant", a classic 3.5 hour saga.

- I read countless magazines and most things I read were drivel, but then I curated the best essays and realized they all seemingly dealt with food, which makes total sense during a pandemic when we all reverted back into hunter gatherers.    “Fuck the Bread. The Bread is Over,” the NYT’s written by restaurant owner/chef of Prune, and the essay by art critic Jerry Saltz about his peculiar eating habits were the best.  While they all seemingly dealt with food and eating, they really don't deal with that at all.  They definitely appeased my appetite for touching writing.  

- And I did some touching writing of my own. I wrote an essay about the death by Covid-19 of my favorite doorman to much notice. It was the article I’ve written that has gotten shared the most online, I think, ever! More importantly, it touched his family in a way that seems significant, his daughter reaching out to me with this message: 

- Related: I organized a GoFundMe for the aforementioned late doorman’s family and raised over $7,000 in just one week! I got our whole complex and neighborhood to participate, and I believe it helped us collectively mourn. 

- Related, I helped a dear friend with dealing with heartbreaking news that her elderly mother had contracted Covid-19. She called me the night she found out to weigh options. Sadly her mother passed. I had a tree planted in her mother’s honor. 

- I signed up with Postcrossing and sent postcards to people all over the world and have gotten a ton back. In times of isolation it helps to feel connected in some way. 

- In that same vein, I participated Oregon Humanities’ “Dear Stranger” project - in which one writes a letter to a stranger and sends it to the organization and they exchange it with other stranger’s letter and mail that one to you. Interestingly I wrote my letter on an old map. The letter I got in return was by a female freelance writer of my same age, also written on an old map. More serendipity! More connection without ever leaving the apartment. 

- I saw a segment on NY1 talking about how this pandemic and isolation is taking its toll on seniors and one NYC nursing home that was requesting cards and letters to cheer them up. It was the catalyst for me to start a new project I call: “Letters from the Inside... of the Senior Center” - in which I researched and compiled a list of nursing homes around the country who accept letters of cheer to their seniors. I now have a list of about 800 names. I’ve sent about 75 cards/postcards myself so far, and have enlisted friends, neighbors, and others to send cards as well. My goal is to get each senior at least one card or letter. 

- I had a milestone birthday with little fanfare. My dog, Biggie, turned three. 

- I finally finished annotating each chapter of “Blind Eye,” the best-selling book about serial killer Michael Swango, who I have written to for 10+ years as part of the aforementioned “Letters from the Inside” project I created. I sent him questions on each chapter. 

- Related: After 10 long years of corresponding, on my birthday we started what has now turned out to be weekly calls. His prison has finally allowed them. Last call I told him that he has not answered my last few letters. He told me to yell at him, remind him, and push him to get on it. I quipped that it was probably not in my best interest to antagonize someone who murdered 60+ people. True horror, indeed. 

- The CNN docu-series about him in which I appear as an expert was postponed but will air later this summer. 

- Speaking of true horrors, I had a woman threaten to spit on me when I requested she leash her dog -- who had tried to attack Biggie. (Odd foreshadowing for the recent Amy Cooper debacle.) 

- I lost my long-time nurse (I get immuno-therapy infusions twice a month and have for years for an immune disorder) because she was fired by her nursing company. After having to deal with an inadequate string of nurses I lobbied to get my nurse hired at my pharmacy’s nursing division so now she can be my nurse again. She is thrilled she has a job; I am thrilled I have my old friend back each month. 

- I feel in love with Cuomo.

***

After sitting down and taking this inventory, I am amazed at how much I have actually done in such a short period of time. It seems insane that I was feeling so bad and slothlike for being so unproductive, when in retrospect, I actually accomplished a lot. 

I guess what I can take away from this long stretch of isolation is this: We can’t see how far we are traveling without looking back on our journey. While something -- particularly traumatic or stressful -- is happening, it is easy to feel static, frozen and worse, uncreative. But feelings aren’t facts. 

Just because I didn’t write my book, I did lots of creative things with my time. I was tangibly helpful to others without even noticing it when I was doing it. I felt like I was faltering and failing, but in looking back at that list above, I really wasn’t. I may have even excelled. 

And now, I think I need to lay down. 

[time-to-be-awesome]

June Goals Review

- I made Tuesdays my art night, I did some colouring and messed around with some paints including turning a plain white paper lamp multicoloured which worked really well

- I tried 7 recipes from my new recipe book, I think the highlight was cheeseburger pizza using a tortilla as the base - very tasty but still light

- I've done a journal entry every day. I used to write chronological descriptions of my day but it was so repetitive I kept not bothering. So this month I started just bullet pointing at least three positive things from the day. I often end up writing more, but even if I'm tired or have had a bad day I can manage to write three things and it has made me much more mindful of all the good things in my life

- I haven't finished my ASYE, which is my professional development documentation. I procrastinated all month and only really started working on it a couple of days ago. I'm hoping to get it done in time to discuss it with my manager tomorrow but I'm cross that I've put myself in the stressful position of racing against time to meet the deadline.

- I didn't manage this, mainly because there were some nights where I just couldn't sleep or where I woke up strangely early. I have been much better about winding down and being ready for bed at a reasonable time. Overall this goal was successful because I've changed from rolling out of bed tired just in time to start work at 9, to voluntarily getting up at 6.30 so I have plenty of time for my morning routine.

Rather happy with how this month has gone :)

July Goals

Do a 24 hour reading challenge

Spend one night per week working on my travel scrapbook

Find a skincare routine that works for me and stick to it

Send 8 postcrossing postcards

Watch 4 movies from my to-watch list
