Next stop: Belgrade
A tiny mail club for people who love real mail, travel, thoughtful details, and the feeling of receiving something personal from far away.
NEXT STOP
Belgrade, Serbia
Belgrade is a little different because I’m not just visiting.
I just moved here.
So this letter is going to be me figuring out a brand-new city in real time.
The things that confuse me. The things I love. The things that remind me of other places I’ve lived. The little everyday moments that somehow end up being the things I remember most.
I’m still very much learning Belgrade, which honestly might make this one even more fun to write.
Come figure it out with me.

THE BELGRADE ENVELOPE
For the person who wants more than just the letter — a little collection of Belgrade, old and new, tucked into an envelope.
This month’s envelope brings together pieces I’ve been finding around the city: vintage postcards from former Yugoslavia, locally made paper, and a few things I created while getting to know my new home.
✔️ My personal letter from Belgrade
✔️ Audio version of the letter
✔️ Vintage postcard from Yugoslavia
✔️ Vintage stamp from Yugoslavia
✔️ Belgrade Field Notes hand-drawn
✔️ A piece of handmade paper made in Belgrade from recycled cigarette packs an initiative by Nasa Kuca
✔️ Belgrade city sticker

About the passport
The Letters From A Friend Abroad passport is included with monthly & yearly subscriptions only.
It arrives in your first envelope, and each month after that, you’ll receive a new city sticker to add to it.
One-time letters do not include the passport, but they are a lovely way to try one city before joining the mail club and you can add one to any letter.
