Chain Postcard

chain card (or chain postcard) is a postcard that travels to different people. Each of them sticks stamps about a previously agreed theme, erase the address (or cover it), and then sends it to the next person in the chain. Eventually, the card makes it back to the first sender. 

I have never participated in an exchange like this. Mostly, because I usually don't have a wide range of stamps to choose from. 

But my friend Heleen usually does. In her Instagram account you can see several examples.

Scheveningen
The Netherlands

She sent me this card that has travelled in 6 countries and 3 continents: Netherlands > USA > China > Taiwan > South Korea > Russia > Netherlands. And all this within half a year: from 27 February 2018 to 23 August 2018. 

What a wonderful gift!
