Got Multiple Postcards Over the Last Few Days

On 8th November, I received 3 postcards in a singular day:

2 from Brazil (from the same person along with some minted stamps) from a brilliant teacher of Geography named Jairo.

1 from Austria from a 22-years old pretty young lady named Theresa.

And today, I got 2 postcards today from 2 beautiful ladies-

one from an Indian named Khusbu

Another one from a Hungarian named Patricai, yaayyy!

I am so glad that my writing presence is slowly growing over the Internet that people are eager to swap postcards with me, Alhammdulillah. 

If anyone of you want to swap postcards with me, you are all most welcome. You can knock me at my Postcrossing profile or you can email me at saiyanislam@gmail.com or knock me at my Facebook page. I truly appreciate all your long lasting support towards me and I eagerly look forward towards all the lovely messages wrapped up in your postcards.

P.S. This post is not sponsored by any third parties, this is fully my honest opinion. Thank you.
