Postcards can be found at any souvenir store, grocery stores, or on the streets of popular tourist areas.
Do not write on the front of the postcard, as the postal service won’t look for information on the front. Make your writing as clear and legible as possible. Use a ballpoint pen rather than a felt tip pen; it is less likely to smear if it gets wet.
You can purchase stamps at any post office. Make sure that you put the stamp in the back of the postcard in the top-right corner. Putting it anywhere else increases the chances of the card getting lost.

If you want to be formal, write: “Dear, (name). " If you want to be less formal, you could start with “Hello, (name)!"
Add as many details as possible but be conscious of how much room you have. If the card is from a specific place on your trip, such as the Grand Canyon, consider limiting your description to that place. You can always send more postcards from other places.
“I’ve been thinking about you. " “I wish you were here with me!”
This is not absolutely necessary, but it’s a great idea if the meal is something that the location is famous for.
If you plan to head home soon, end the card with, “I’ll see you soon,” or, “I can’t wait to see you!”
If you have too much to write about, consider sending a letter in addition to the postcard. Keep the message short and brief on the card, and write a longer message in a letter.
The note itself does not have to be too neat, as long as your recipient can read it.
