TCKID Postcards - Send a postcard and receive one back from another TCK
This post has 1,146 views
OK, I’m not sure how this crazy idea started…. I think someone mentioned sending a postcard to another third culture kid just for fun and see how many countries that postcard would travel to. (was it me?.. I don’t remember lol)
Anyway, if you want to join in and would like to send or receive a postcard, just subscribe here and email your home address.

Ok guys, here is how we’re going to do it. 2 things will happen, one thing is definitely going to happen and the other is optional.
1) TCKid.com Official Postcard Relay/Experiment (or along those lines): One person will send out this postcard with the title written at the back. The person will sign his/her name on it and location, put this in an envelope along with instructions and mail it to the next person on the mailing list. The next person that receives it will sign his/her number after the first person, put it in an envelope and mail it to the next person on the list. Rinse and repeat. An address will be given to you once you sign up. By the way, you don’t get to keep this postcard.
2) Postcard Exchange:This is for those that want to receive postcards from various parts of the world and wouldn’t mind providing their mailing address to other people. This is optional but you get to keep the postcards! So when you get a response from the mailing list, please also specify whether you’d like to make your address public when you send in your address. If you say yes then we will send you a list of addresses that you can send postcards to (we will determine how many addresses).
Once you have received the official TCKid.com postcard, please post here to let us know you have received it so we can keep track, in case the postcard gets lost somewhere (we hope it does not get lost and then show up 30 years later on someone else’s doorstep!). This is an experiment we want to try and hopefully it travels far and wide!! :)
More details will be sent with the email after you sign up
By the way there is NO deadline for this so keep the addresses coming!

Hey Brice. I have yet to receive an address for my postcard thing, even though I requested it quite some time ago. Would you be able to give me one please?
I just got a postcard from Shanghai from Cynthia. Many thanks! =)

Awwww…
Yes, I sent 3 already to Canada, the UK and Asia respectively. And I still have one to send within the US once I receive the “relay” card which has not arrived. I wonder why none have arrived?

Hi guys!
First of all, apologies for being delinquent in this. I know I haven’t been following up and I am truly sorry for it. I don’t have an excuse besides saying “I am busy” but I know, that’s not good enough LOL Really sorry!
I have also been getting quite a few emails from people who did not receive any addresses which is odd because I sent out emails to each one of you that signed up with an address. I am going to send out a mass email to those that signed up already.
There’s a lot of administration issues to fix with this and I am sorry this is taking so long! Just blame the fact that we’re TCKs and we’re bad at planning XD Just kidding~ Ok, no excuses…
Anyways, it’s never too late to sign up!
MsMes: Hmm I DID send out a postcard to you (the other people got it!), maybe it went to the wrong address?! I have to check with you..
