Postcard from Finland

Today I received my first Postcrossing postcard! WOOHOO!  You've never heard of Postcrossing? Then look here. Currently more than 391,000 people from 219 countries around the world are busy sending each other postcards and making friends. Snail mail, the old fashioned way!

Postcards I have sent to Germany, Holland and Taiwan have already arrived, and five more are in transit to other countries. And as soon as a postcard of mine arrives at it's destination and is registered, my address is sent to a random Postcrosser and I can expect to get another card.

I was so excited to open my mailbox today and find my first postcard from Aune in Finland. It was posted 5 days ago and travelled 6,539 km (4,063 miles). Thank you, Aune!
