They might be the most underrated souvenir.

I havent gotten a postcard in forever!

Why have I never thought of that before?

Postcards from around the world scattered together

They help you see another side of your destination.

Postcards are an easy-to-find, super-cheap souvenir available pretty much everywhere around the world.

Mailing postcards from around the world has certainly deepened my appreciation for the U.S. ## They help you remember the details.

You know that question about what youd grab in a fire, if your house was burning down?

The postcards would be one of the first things I’d save.

They don’t take long to write.

They’re collectible.

If that includes the work of a local artist, even better.

They can be turned into an album.

Instead, it’s possible for you to display your postcard collection in a photo album.

Its both a keepsake and a great conversation starter.

Best of all, this album becomes a time capsule and an heirloom to pass down.
