Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The project organizes its travel narratives as destination-specific postal series rather than a single continuous feed. The homepage lists routes such as Basel–Zurich–Lugano–Montreux and Boca Topada–Arenal–Monteverde–Tortuguero, with letters described as arriving every two weeks. Reader testimonials also refer to postcards, photographs, and gifts, suggesting that the paid experience extends beyond text even though the supplied page does not expose prices.
