Letters From A Friend Abroad
Monthly letters from a different city abroad — sent by post.
Each envelope includes a personal letter, a postcard, field notes, a small keepsake, and an audio version of the letter.
New members also receive a tiny passport in their first envelope to collect each city as the letters arrive.
What arrives in your mailbox
A Personal Letter
Written by me, sharing sharing stories from where I am in the world or a place I have been to.
Every letter you will includes a few meaning pieces, thoughtfully chosen to bring a city a littler closer to you. Your first envelope also includes a Letters From a Friend Abroad passport to collect each city as the letters arrive.
A Curated Postcard
Thoughtfully chosen from the place each letter comes from.
A Small Keepsake
A little something connected to the local culture or daily life.
An Audio Version
A recording of the letter read by me, for anyone who prefers to listen.
Field Notes
Observations and notes from the city I wrote about in the letter.
Your First Letter Comes With A Passport.
When you join the mail club, your first envelope includes a small Letters From a Friend Abroad passport.
It’s a place to collect each city as the letters arrive — starting with Tbilisi.
Every month after that, you’ll receive a sticker for the next city in your passport, so the collection slowly grows over time.
Not a real passport.
Just a small keepsake for people who still like opening mail and feeling like it came from somewhere.

These letters aren’t really about “what to do” in a city.
They’re about the little details, ordinary routines, and objects that make a place feel lived in — the kinds of things I’d tell a friend over coffee, not the kinds of things you’d find in a guidebook.
That’s the part that matters to me.

Letters From a Friend Abroad is a monthly mail club for people who still like real mail, small keepsakes, and the feeling of opening something that came from somewhere.
Each month, I send a letter from a different city, along with a few paper goods and little pieces of that place — the kind of things I’d tuck into an envelope for a friend if I were writing to tell them what life there actually felt like.
Not a travel guide.
More like a letter from inside a place. -
