My Hobby of Collecting Postcards

"Through travel I first became aware of the outside world; it was through travel that I found my own introspective way into becoming a part of it."
- Eudora Welty











Isn't it everybody's dream to travel? Especially if it is travelling the whole world. Continent by continent; countries by countries. Dreaming is free but reality is we can't all travel the whole world. Good news is, I know a way how? Are you excited to know it too? Mmmm...ready to read this? The great way to travel all around the world is by collecting postcards. Yes! you read it right...it is the postcards!!!

I got hooked by these beautiful things last September 2003. As I was cleaning and organizing my things (a very hard task for me!) I saw all of my postcards from previous school projects, gifts from my penpals, families and friends who lived abroad and during my travels too. I saw the sceneries and then I said to myself "Oh how beautiful these places are!" but I thought it cost too much to go to those places. So an idea crops up, I should start collecting postcards and it would be like I've been to that places

Comment - a nice site - with philosophical thoughts and general ideas on collecting postcards - how a person realizes its very own beauties, gets hooked by deltiology. I did not find a huge display of postcards here, but those not for trade are all with no exception the best quality sent postcards, which in terms of nowadays trends in collecting are real jewels, in comparison to those mint and not sent, which give much less information on time and space and the postal services at their time.
