Instead, I write each handwritten postcard in real time, wherever I happen to be in the world. I pick one up locally, find a place to sit; maybe a café, a bus station, or somewhere completely unexpected, and start writing right then and there.
Sometimes I write after a long travel day. Other times, it’s right after a moment I never want to forget. And occasionally, it happens in places I never planned to end up in at all.
That’s exactly what makes these postcards special.
No two will ever be the same; not the place, not the card, not the story.
Let me send you a handwritten postcard from wherever I am in the world! 💌
When you order, you can guide what I write, or leave it entirely up to me.
– A personal message to you (or someone else)
– A story from my travels
– Something specific you’d like me to talk about
Or simply let me decide, and I’ll write whatever feels true to that moment!
– A locally sourced postcard from my current location
– A handwritten message written on the spot
– Stamps and markings from the country it was sent from
I can only write and send a small number of these at a time, so once they’re gone, they’re gone.
– I send each postcard without an envelope, so it may show signs of travel (marks, stamps, wear)
– I write every message by hand, so length and style will vary
– Postcard designs depend on what I find locally and can vary
– Delivery times can vary significantly (often 2–8+ weeks), depending on the origin and destination country
– Tracking is not available
– Local postal systems can cause delays
– Because I create and send each postcard individually, all sales are final
– If something goes wrong, I’ll always do my best to make it right

Mail kits are generally packaged and shipped from within the U.S., however the exact shipment date depends on when you ordered. Mail kits are mailed along with the monthly Every Country Post orders on the 15th of every following month.
Hence, if you place an order on or after the 1st of the month, shipments will take place on the 15th the following month.
If you made a mistake or need to make changes to your shipping address, please email me asap at support@jackykarwathova.com.
These are real postcards I buy locally while traveling, written by me on the spot and sent directly from that destination with local stamps. They’re more personal, more unpredictable, and very limited.
There’s an option to let me know your preferences.
If multiple designs are available, I’ll do my best to match it. However, it ultimately depends on what I can find locally, so please keep in mind that design choices cannot be guaranteed.
Yes! You can let me know if you’d like a personal message, a story from my travels, or something more specific. Otherwise, I’ll write something that feels true to the moment!
You also have the option to add more details at checkout, but you don’t have to overthink it… I’ll always choose something that feels right based on where I am and what I’m experiencing at the time!
Handwritten postcards are intentionally not shipped in an envelope and hence, may show signs of travel (stamps, marks, or slight wear) which are all part of their special journey!
This depends on the specific drop and where I am traveling at the time.
Sometimes I may reveal the exact countries beforehand, while other times, I may only reveal a certain region with the exact country being kept as a surprise!
Not often. These are released as limited drops depending on where I am and how many I can realistically write and send during my chaotic travels!
