📖 Story Text

Hello everyone! Today, I want to share a little story about sending postcards while traveling in Europe. It's one of my favorite ways to capture memories. When I visit a new city, I always look for a local postcard. You can find these in small shops or at popular tourist destinations. I enjoy choosing a postcard that represents the city I am in. Recently, I bought a beautiful postcard from Venice, featuring its iconic canals. It reminded me of my amazing time there. After picking a postcard, I usually write a quick message to my friends or family back home. It’s a lovely surprise for them to receive a postcard in the mail. I write about the experiences I had, like visiting the Rialto Bridge and enjoying gelato by the water. Sending postcards gives a personal touch that a text message just can't match. Once I’ve finished writing, I find a post office to send it out. Make sure to check out the postage rates! In some places, it's quite affordable. I often send a few postcards at once. Each one carries a piece of my adventure. Lastly, don't forget to buy extra postcards! You never know when you might want to send another. Postcards are a beautiful reminder of travels, and they keep the memories alive even when you return home.
