Postcards to Swap With My Missing Countries - Maldives (Part 2)

I bought many postcards and stamps during my travel to Maldives last week. Here is one of those. I would love to swap this postcard with two (2) postcards of my missing countries OR two (2) postcards that suit my preferences. These unaddressed postcards were stamped and postmarked by a post office at the Velana International Airport in Maldives. 

Here how the swap goes. I am going to send this postcard to you in an envelope. And you are going to send me with two (2) postcards, each sent stamped and postmarked in that country. Hope this explanation helps. Thanking you in advance. Kindly e-mail me for this arrangement.

Please follow this posting as I will put more on Maldives postcards.

Note : A postcard in Maldives costs USD1.00 and a stamp of MVR15 is sold at USD2.00.

Svalbard and Jan Mayen - The Iconic Polar Bear Sign


Longyearbyen, Svalbard
The Iconic Polar Bear Sign

Sent by Khristin from Longyearbyen, Svalbard and Jan Mayen.

The polar bear population in the Svalbard archipelago is around 3,000 which exceeds the number of people that reside in the town of Longyearbyen. While encounters with the animals in the town are rare, Svalbard Polar Bear Signs warn residents and visitors of the potential danger they face when venturing beyond the limits of the town. In doing so, these signs have become icons in their own right that signify a spirit and reality that defines the entire community (read further).

Want to visit Longyearbyen, do book your stay here.
