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:

Wow, they all seemed to have fun!
In Cambodia where there are 5 listed postcrossers and only two active. But we have our meet ups for -- two times already. Sorry, I don't have any pictures to share. But we plan to meet again sometime next month.
Let me know if people in Cambodia need my help.
