1 ~~~ Why You Should Always Mail Yourself a Postcard When Traveling ~ Travel & Leisure ~~~
I mail one to myself on every trip I take, and they're among my most treasured possessions.
To most, sending postcards is an old-fashioned, outdated way of keeping in touch —
what’s the point when you can just post on Facebook and rake in the likes from everyone you know (and their mother)?
When I send a postcard to a loved one, their (texted) response is usually something along the lines of, “Wow, thanks! I haven’t gotten a postcard in forever!”
And when I admit to others that I’m an avid postcard sender, people usually tilt their heads and ask, “They still sell postcards?”
But when I add that I also write a postcard to myself and mail it home from wherever I am in the world,
as a way to record memories and experiences from my travels, their eyes light up — the most common response I get to that is, “Brilliant!
Why have I never thought of that before?”
Below I’ll share why I always mail myself a postcard on my travels — and why you should adopt this trip ritual, too.
