Ah, the age old practice of letter writing. If you’re a fan of putting pen to page, there’s also a good chance you also enjoy sending postcards home whenever you travel. It might be a while before you can send postcards from far off places again, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep in touch with friends and family via snail mail in the meantime, as many us remain separated by the pandemic.
