We know many Postcrossers take their yearly break in the upcoming weeks, to relax and visit new places.

If you are one of them and you’ll be away from your home or school address for a while, don’t forget to switch your account to the Inactive status in advance — you can do that easily just by editing your Postcrossing account. This will tell Postcrossing not to give your address to any other members while you are away. You can still send some postcards if you’d like, but you won’t be sent any until you’re ready to receive them.

When you’re back, all you need to do is to switch your account back to Active and you’ll be in business again! Rest assured, all your due postcards will then be sent your way.

Oh, and don’t forget to re-stock with postcards from the places where you’ll be spending your days away!

Bon voyage!

Think of us in the Southern Hemisphere whinging because it's winter and because we have to work. Still it pays for the cards and that's what matters. Have a great holiday everyone whenever you have one.
