Postcards sent to/by myself!
It was my first time to travel out of town alone. It was in Sagada, Mountain Province, Philippines which is 12 hours away from Manila via bus. After this travel, I really learned a lot from packing my stuff, preparing itineraries to meeting some friends. Throughout my travel, I didn't have anything in my mind about starting a travel collection or souvenirs.
One time I came across this postcard store and bought 2. I have no intention but to buy it since it's really nice postcards. Until I saw this post office right beside the tourism office which I went to. It came to my mind to send it to our home on my last day so when I come home, there would be a special thing that will arrive and remind me how my travel went during that time. So I tried to send it and addressed it to myself. It was delivered during office hours so I wasn't the one who received it. I go home to our house weekly so few days already passed and I forgot about it. But upon opening my bedroom, seeing these postcards lying on my bed got me teary-eyed because I already forgot about it and I was just so happy about it that it became my souvenir on that travel.
I tried to do it on my every travels but I gives more hassle finding the post office and making it there when the itinerary is out of way going there. But you can also do that if you wanted the idea. :) Feel free to do it with your travels!
