01 / About us
A travel blog that plans like an agency
We write guides for people who want a real route, a real budget and no filler. Every page here is meant to be used on the road, not just read.
02 / Our story
Why Postcard Pending
Most travel pages tell you what is beautiful. Few tell you how long it takes, what it costs and what to skip. We started Postcard Pending to write the second kind.
The name comes from a simple idea: the best trips are planned well enough that you have time to sit down and write a postcard. Our guides cover four places so far, and each one follows the same shape: why go, the route by day, the best months and the budget.
03 / Principles
What we hold to
Tested routes
A guide is written after the trip, not before it. If we haven’t been there, it isn’t on the page.
Honest budgets
Prices are per person and say what they cover. Big extras are listed separately, never hidden.
Slow over full
Fewer stops, more time in each. We would rather cut a sight than rush you past three.
Your dates first
Every itinerary is split by day, so it bends to the time you have instead of the other way round.
04 / How we work
From idea to itinerary
