Peace Stamp 2023

This year, there is not EUROPA stamp contest, because all the participant countries are issuing a stamp with the same design, dedicated to Peace - the highest value of humanity. I’m trying to get the EUROPA 2023 stamps from as many different countries as possible, used on a regular cover. I have already got some stamps.

Let me know if you wish to swap this stamp (or swap it for a postcard, envelope, etc.) from one of the following countries:

Åland | Andorra (French Post)* | Andorra (Spanish Post)* | Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh)* | Austria | Azerbaijan* | Azores* | Belgium | Bosnia and Herzegovina (Serb Post) | Bosnia And Herzegovina | Bosnia And Herzegovina (Croat Post) | Bulgaria* | Croatia | Czech Republic | Cyprus | Cyprus (Turkish Post) | Denmark | Estonia | Faroe Islands | Finland | France | Georgia | Germany | Gibraltar | Greece | Greenland* | Guernsey* | Hungary | Italy | Ireland | Isle of Man | Jersey | Kazakhstan* | Kosovo | Latvia | Liechtenstein | Lithuania | Luxembourg | Madeira | Malta* | Moldova* | Monaco | Montenegro | Netherlands | North-Macedonia | Norway | Poland | Romania | Portugal | San Marino | Serbia | Slovakia | Slovenia | Sweden | Switzerland | Turkey | Ukraine | Vatican

*I have got these too, but mint, not sent from origin.

It can be your house, your ideal house, a typical house of your country/town, a famous house you have visited, etc. 

I am curious about: What makes your house special? How is the house you would like to live in? How are the typical houses in your country? Why do you like/dislike about the house you live in? Which one is the most wonderful house you have been to? ...

The Mail Monster Project

The Mail Monsters Project started with a letter that I sent to some of my friends. The letter included an envelope drawn by me, to be sent back. And two questions:
