For a long time, I’ve been wanting to send out a friendly little note with a photo that does not live on social media. I called it a postcard because I’m aiming for a brief, warm, and immediate tone that situates the readers in a mindset, a place, or a person for three minutes.
Ideally, it’d be about the kind of topics that come up after a nice, long meal with a friend, when all the catching up on life events has been completed, and you share that little something that amazes you or obsesses you, making your life lighter, funnier, easier.
I want to develop a space to capture stories and people’s interests around the globe with an element of serendipity that does not necessarily follow standard useful advice for “getting to know a place.”
About me
I have been very fortunate to travel in many different capacities. I was a travel editor for almost a decade and I spent the last two years abroad doing research for a book on traveling companions, strangers, and the spark of friendship. This made me appreciate even more the connections I have with people and places all over the world.
So I wanted to create a space to meet and keep in touch by sharing random curiosities, little pleasures, things that make everyone tickle, and, in general, to celebrate the awesomeness of humans and their creations.
