• I can only recognise them by the accent.

  In terms of handwriting Eastern Europeans tend to have a very close and slanted handwriting that slants to the right with very hard strokes from top to bottom. Germans for example, in my opinion from years of exchanging postcards with strangers thru the site postcrossing.com have a very angry handwriting; it's like you can feel they're yelling at you just by their hand writing.

• Postage required on mail-in ballots

  Join Postcrossing! I had a silly number of postcards collected over the years and a book of stamps specifically from voting last time. Super fun little hobby and a good way to use them up! Source: over 1 year ago

• I've decided I need to do a no-buy

  You might find it helpful to take a look at r/RandomActsofCards, r/penpals, r/penpalsover30, r/fountainpenpals, or Postcrossing. Random Acts of Cards, in particular, is a really lovely supportive community, but be warned that, while it’s certainly possible to keep expenses very low, it’s also fairly easy to fall into wanting a mountain of stationery yourself so it’s best to be aware of and set limits if you decide...

• What is a hobby that involves 'collecting' in some aspect?

  I recently got into postcards. While I mainly send/receive postcards through postcrossing.com, I also try to be active in Reddit postcard communities.

• postcard exchange

  So, I have around 430 postcards from 157 countries or territories. I've had this hobby for 8 years now. I started exchanging postcards on postcrossing.com site.

You never know when and from who you will receive the... Source: almost 3 years ago
