Category: Post-Office-Diaries
Post-Office Diaries is a travel diary series that explores places through their post offices — spaces where everyday logistics, local customs, and human interactions often reveal more about a place than guidebooks do.
Join me and my partner Andry as we travel from country to country, using post offices as fixed points for observing movement, waiting, and place. Each entry is rooted in a specific location and visit, shaped by postcards, stamps, postmarks, and the surrounding context.
During a single stay in a country, we sometimes visit the same post office more than once. For clarity and consistency, each story here carries a single date — the day that best represents that particular visit.
The series began in September 2024 and is published every other week, usually on Wednesdays.
