Have you ever heard about post
crossing?
I´ve discovered it last year and in my
personal opinion it is like a breath of fresh air among so much technology.
The idea is very simple. It just consists of a
traditional exchange of postcards!
Yes! Exactly, like before
internet existed.
What do you think? Interesting?
Are you ready to use again pen and paper?
Well, Let me tell you about the
experience!
I sent my first card last year. I think it was
December and the postcard was sent to Brazil. It was written to a girl named
Eliane...
It was something strange because
when you write a post you don´t know who
is the person that you are writing to.....but
maybe, that aspect is the most interesting of the
postcrossing.
As you describe something or somewhere of your own city...other people describe to
you their own
places.
All these things considered, you could think
that it looks so boring Writing a letter, sending it and waiting, waiting.....
and waiting that someone writes to you... Wouldn’t it be easier to send a text
message?, Maybe..... but, What about the surprise of getting a card into your mailbox?
Yes, that´s the point!. When you are into
postcrossing and after sending some cards you´ll receive some others and each
one will be a little surprise.
The best of all will be that feeling, in between
curiosity and impatience when you receive new notices..... and at the end you
could discover the most singular places around the world because they won´t be shown
by guides or travel books but shown directly by personal and subjective experiences.
Try it! and Join us!
