Postcard experiment 2026

Some of you may (or may not) know that in the past I've done a postcard experiment on Hive. I think it's time to start another round. 1000070868.jpg

What is the postcard experiment?

It's called an experiment because I want to extend online friendship off line by sending you a postcard. Nowadays, we don't get many things through the post, let alone something that isn't spam mail or an invoice asking for money. I thought it would be nice for people to receive something personal, hand written, from another part of the world, far from where you are.

Who can join?

The experiment is open to everyone. It doesn't matter where you live in the world, I will send it to you, but I can't guarantee if it will arrive because it depends on the postal system. I know in previous rounds, some postcards never arrived to Cuba, Pakistan, Philippines and Venezuela. Hopefully we shall have better luck this time if users from these countries are interested to take part. Of course, you are also welcome to join if you don't live in these countries 😃 or have taken part in previous rounds.

How can I join and what's the cost?

There is no cost to you to receive a postcard from me. All I need is your trust in me. I just need your postal address, and your Hive account name. For your own protection, don't drop your address here for everyone else to see.

You can send me an email on livinguktaiwan@gmail.com or drop me a message on discord. My handle is the same as Hive - livinguktaiwan - and it looks like this 👇

If you send me a message on discord, please start with Postcard Experiment, don't just say Hi and nothing else, because I don't respond to random messages.

How long does the experiment last?

You have to let me know by Saturday 14 November if you would like to receive a free postcard from me. I will send them out the following week. Look forward to hearing from you.

    I would like to accept this offer and return the experience when I am next in unknown lands which may or may not have postal services (February, Somaliland)

    I have sent and received lots of letters in my adolescence. It was the only way to communicate with friends that I only saw in the summer. However, I don't remember sending a single postcard in my life. It seemed undiscreet to me, as if I had great secrets to hide... 🙄😂 I hope your postcard arrives. 😄😘

  • Receiving a hand-written postcard from across the world sounds so special.

    Yup, I visited post office. They were very unprofessional, treated badly like it's an Immoral thing to receive a post card and asked KYC related questions which I didn't know about u nor it's required to receive. If next time u can send postcard directly at my location instead of an office, it might reach otherwise it's not worth it.
