Rainy boots, sand *everywhere* and a few hundred new baby pine planted! 💪

Our yearly tree-planting meetup happened again... and yes, it rained again! 😅

Here’s the story and photos of this year's event: https://www.postcrossing.com/blog/2026/04/22/another-rainy-morning-planting-trees-in-leiria

Look what arrived in our mailbox! 😍
A small local magazine from Germany featuring an interview with postcrossers Christian, Katrin, Lisa and Moritz. And yes, they showed up like super stars in matching Postcrossing t-shirts… iconic!

Does your town or neighborhood have a small publication like this too? They’re a great way to spread the word locally and invite new people to join the fun!

✍️ If you're between 9–15 years old, the UPU’s International Letter Writing Competition is for you! This year’s theme is especially dear to us: “Why human connection matters in a digital world.”

We’ve waited a looooong time for this: USPS Postcrossing stamps are coming! 🎉
They’re triangular, super colourful, and they launch May 26, 2026 at the Boston Stamp Show! Hurray!

A snowy #PostboxSaturday from Guarda, Portugal ❄️📮

This bright red postbox was spotted a few weeks ago by our friend Marta — looking very cosy in its winter hat!
