The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Want To Travel the World (but don't have the time or money)? Like Postcards? Want to Meet Folks From All Over? If You Answered Yes, Postcrossing May Be For You....

Postcrossing is a group of more than 500,000 people from more than 200 countries who
exchange postcards. It's free, though I donate 10 Euros a year. It's handled by computers of course. 

Each member has a profile. Folks usually list the types of cards they'd like to receive and most tell a little about themselves.


Here are some of the postcards I've received and here are some of the postcards I've sent.

If you are interested in having a pen pal for exchanging letters, you will be able to find someone through Postcrossing. 

Here you'll find the basics of how Postcrossing works.

BTW, sending postcards overseas is $1.20.

If you have any questions (not answered in the links) or want to know where to buy cards, send me a note.  george238c@juno.com

I've been active for the past year and it's been enjoyable. Have met some nice and interesting people from all over. And, have a couple of pen pals. Plus, I have about 200 cool postcards.
