I have four of these Coco de Mer (Lodoicea maldivica) postcards available for swap. The image shows the male and female Coco de Mer. This is the largest seed in the world and is endemic to Seychelles. Continue reading
I was able to do some shopping in town for viewcards this afternoon. I went to a place that had a lot of multi-view cards. So here are the ones I was able to get: Continue reading
It really is so difficult to obtain viewcards from Africa. Okay, so Seychelles isn’t a problem for me because I actually live here. I was also able to get a handful of cards from Mauritius (my uni ex-roommate was from Mauritius so she got me some), South Africa and Ethiopia during my short visits to these countries, and other cards from swappers, including Tunisia and Egypt, which were quite easy because they do have a good number of swappers in these countries.

I was a serious collector when I was around 17-18. I had to chill out for a while when I was 19 because of exams. But I resumed the hobby until I was 22 when I decided to stop swapping completely.
