Photo Travel : Lake Tekapo, South Island, New Zealand

Lake Tekapo, South Island , New Zealand - Simply Amazing! Need I say more?

Lake Tekapo, South Island - New Zealand

Driving all the way from Christchurch, you will pass across Lake Tekapo if you are heading towards Mount Cook. In my lifetime, I have never seen anything this amazingly beautiful and it was one of those many 'Nat Geo' moments that one can expect to encounter if you are going on a road trip around New Zealand.

Travel Photos : Postcards from My Road Trip in New Zealand

It's time for that Travel Photos  again and this time around it is a series of travel postcards from my road trip in New Zealand.

Do you send postcards to people at home when you are traveling? I recently do! I would like to make it a ritual when I travel to send people at home really interesting postcards. It's going to be exciting for the receivers don't you think?

Here are some of the Travel postcards I sent to family and friends while I was on a 24 days, adventurous travel road trip in New Zealand :

Last but not least, a postcard of Mount Cook!

I'm happy to announce that everyone who received the postcards were really happy to have them in their mails. I'm pretty sure the happiest out of all of them would be my little 3 year old niece who can already read  and recognize her name. Unfortunately, one recipient didn't receive hers and I'm sorry for that girlfriend.

I know sending postcards are really old school but I think it is one of those really nice surprises you can give to anyone when they check out their mails. Postcards are nice, colorful, you can leave short lines of nice things to say and for that, what's  not to like with postcards?

Do you send postcards when you are traveling? If you haven't make it a habit of sending one just yet, I think you should start doing it now. It's nice to hear what are the reactions you will get from the recipients and I'm very sure they will all be  more than happy to get at least one postcard any of these days. On that note, if you have no one you can think of who would like to get a postcard, why don't you send one to me? I'll be happy to blog about it then.
