A few months ago a friend and Hive user, seriously if you do not know please follow @livinguktaiwan anyway... She did a terrific post and project with postcards, she sent tons of postcards around the world! It is a big thing with stamp costs and time to write individual pieces of writing on each postcard, it is a lot of effort.
When I travelled to Rome I picked up A couple of postcards I didn't think much of it at the time, but I recently did A deep clean of my room and I found these under my piles of envelopes and other parcel equipment, and it has inspired me.
It has inspired me to buy a postcard or 2 whenever I travel whether it is nearby towns or big trips like London or Europe. I feel inspired to write a postcard for someone but who...
I could open it to you, a hive user. Furthermore, I will certainly be giving it some thought.
It just feels good to write and to write to someone directly friend or stranger has a little feel-good factor. You never know, the receiver could be having a bad day, but your postcard could make their day and inspire them to do something new. My handwriting isn't great, so maybe it will be something I take care of :)
This is something completely new to me, I have never done this before, but I created this post to motivate myself to do it and maybe get some further advice, but also I hope you the reader of this post see that this is something new I am trying and in return it inspires you to post about something new you have or would like to try.
That will conclude my post for today, thanks for reading.

Thanks for the shout out Chris! The postcard experiment was a lovely way to meet people on Hive and a great way to turn virtual into reality. The only downside is the cost and unreliability or the mail service. In UK postage is pretty expensive, compared to Taiwan. Postage cost around 25p to most places in the world from Taiwan, whereas here we're talking at least £1.50. Then there's lost mail. Out of the postcards I mailed from Taiwan last March, 2 out of the 3 to Philippines still haven't arrived, likewise for Pakistan. And Cuba and Venezuela still haven't arrived from UK since last March and December.
Happy days!
