TCKID Postcards - Send a postcard and receive one back from another TCK
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!

Trying to boss me around, eh? Nice try. =)
If you’re gonna boss me around, you should have mailed me a paycheck instead. Send me $100 because I could use a massage. Actually, I prefer paypal.. here’s my paypal email: bricethecat at hotmail dot com
Thanks M, you’re awesome.

Oh I forgot to add, if you want to be part of the “send the postcard for fun” and don’t mind others finding out your mailing address, please state the titles of 1 and 2 when you send your address to the mailing list.
For those that already sent out your address to the list, please specify again to the list if you wish to put your address in the pool of postcard receivers for #2. The Postcard Managers will look at how many we have in the pool and we’ll determine how many addresses each person will get. We will keep you updated on this (as so far there aren’t too many yet).
Again to clarify, the TCKid Official Postcard Relay will begin with Brice and the next person that receives this will send the postcard to the person that the mailing list has given the address to and so on and so forth.
Please also let us know if your address changes within the next few months. The TCKid.com Official Postcard may take a while to get around to you.
So if you’re still interested and haven’t send in your mailing address yet, feel free to do so

Bo, I think once you sign up and agree to the confirmation email you will be getting a new email. You can then send your post card to the address enclosed in the new email.
I don’t think you need to include your own address though.
