Blog > More Postcrossing meetups!

With the summer stretching it’s arms and warming up more and more countries, the Postcrossing meetups are also on the rise. April was a particularly active month with at least 5 meetups that we know of and May seems to be following the same steps.

Finland on its own had 3 of them just in April, all in different cities throughout the country. Russia followed, and Taiwan had its first meetup in Taipei which gathered quite a few Postcrossers.

Here’s a quick run down of all the meetups that happened since the last update with links to photos of the events:

Todd, I agree with you. It's cool to see pictures of "our" meeting in Taipei here. It was so nice to meet other postcrossers :). We should start to organize a second meeting soon..in Taichung maybe ;).

Other postcrossers....don't be shy and join the meetings...they are a great way to get in contact with new people who also love to exchange postcards :D.
