i know this is googlable but i've had a few people ask: you can use US stamps to send international letters! you don't have to have "global forever" stamps, those are just the right amount already. But if you put $1.20 of postage on the envelope it can go anywhere in the world!

just a lil #penpalooza tip from me 2 u

and to make it even easier...if you have regular old forever stamps...it takes three to send a letter global :)

also, if you have a pen pal in any of these places...it might be the reason for the delay. due to covid restrictions (as well as general infuriating slowness due to dismantling) the USPS can't send to these countries about.usps.com/newsroom/servi…

it's good to keep an eye on the advisories if you have someone in another country -- like after a few weeks of suspension mail between the us and japan is back on track etc.
