Postcards From Europe


I love postcards.

As much as e-mail, text messages, and social media has helped make my long-distance friends and family "closer" than ever before, there's still nothing quite like old-fashioned mail. No matter how many cool fonts exist today, nothing beats the font of a handwritten card. It's one of a kind!

So as our #EurSoGypsy countdown reaches single digits, I've been inspired by Christy from What Up, Swags?! to send a few postcards from various points (as yet undetermined) while on our imminent Europe trip. Want to get in on the action? E-mail your address to thriftygypsytravels@gmail.com! If too many people respond, I won't be able to guarantee a postcard, but I'll do my best.

As normally happens for a part-time traveler running a travel blog, posts will become more and more infrequent as we get ready for take-off and while we're on the road, although I do have a few posts already scheduled. If you want to keep up with all the sights, sounds, and tastes (the best part!) of our trip, you should follow us on Instagram and Twitter!

In the meanwhile, I want to hear what travel plans you're most looking forward to! And don't forget to send me your address if you want a sweet postcard from Greece, Germany, or Paris!

Is it time for take-off yet?!

  4. By the way, I finally found your blog via bloglovin! I don't know why, but when you transitioned your domain or something like that a few months ago, the blogloving feed wasn't working. But now it is! Yay!

    1. Glad that finally worked itself out. It's probably because I emailed Bloglovin and asked them to make sure that anyone following under the old name was transferred to the new domain. Seems to be working! :)
