Introducing PostcardStoryCo: Where Stories Travel by Mail

Hi, I’m Craig — traveler, wanderer, and postcard enthusiast — and I’m thrilled to introduce you to PostcardStoryCo, a little idea that grew out of my travels and love for meaningful connection.

In a world where most mail is bills and junk flyers, imagine the joy of opening your mailbox and finding… a real postcard. One with a story. A piece of adventure you can hold in your hands.

That’s the magic we’re bringing back.

💡 How It All Began

The inspiration came during one of my trips, when I visited the Pony Express Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri (you can read about it here on my travel blog: CuriousCraig.net).

While standing in that museum, I was reminded how thrilling it must have been in the 1800s to get a letter carried across the country on horseback. I picked up a handful of postcards at the gift shop — and on a whim, offered to mail them to readers of my blog.

The response floored me. I ran out of cards almost instantly.

That little experiment taught me something: even today, people crave real, personal connection — something you can touch, display, and look forward to.

💌 Why Postcards Still Matter

Science backs this up. Studies show that receiving personal mail boosts happiness and reduces feelings of isolation. In one Gallup poll, over 90% of people said they feel happy when they receive a letter or card that isn’t a bill. And among younger adults, the numbers are just as high; even digital natives love a physical reminder that someone thought of them.

It’s not just nostalgia. It’s a small but powerful way to slow down and reconnect.

With PostcardStoryCo, we design postcards that feel like they’re coming from a traveling friend , using a natural, handwritten-look font to keep that personal vibe. Each card carries a short story or fun tidbit from places near and far. You’ll learn something new, feel a spark of wonder, and have something delightful waiting in your mailbox.

🌍 What You’ll Get

✔️ Beautifully designed postcards featuring real places and stories
✔️ Messages crafted in a personal, conversational style
✔️ A break from the digital noise; something to hold, display, or share
✔️ The joy of mail that’s just for you (or someone you gift it to)

We may mass-produce the cards for consistency, but every design, story, and detail is chosen with care — inspired by the real places I explore and the connections I want to share.
