Luxembourg – Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

One of the world's tiny countries, I've never been to Luxembourg but some of my well-travelled friends have and I thank them for these cards.

Qatar, Doha

My first visit to this intriguing country. Tracking down stamps and postcards was quite the task. Coincidently the only post box and vendor I could find was right near the flag you see in this postcard of the Souq Waqif

UAE: Abu Dhabi

I've only made a couple of visits to Abu Dhabi, but my time ashore from a Celestyal cruise last December was a decent full-day tour of this amazing city. A true jewel in the desert. STORY:

Visiting the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi

Union des Comores

Last year, I took a tour with Intrepid Travel to the islands of Comoros. The dozen travellers in my group were all inveterate world travellers who had accumulated well over 100 countries each. Postcards are such a great way to document your hard-to-get-to destinations.

Socialist Republic of Vietnam

 Vietnam may be a tricky country to get in and out of, but they can sure do lovely postcards and stamps. 

If you're ever visiting Vietnam and flying into Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), you would be advised to allow a full hour for immigration and customs formalities. 

Belgrade, Serbia

This Balkan state has endured its fair share of troubles over the past 100 years and more. Still, it is a fascinating city to visit. I was there in May 2015.

Dubai UAE - Worlds Tallest

You can't go to Dubai without visiting the world's tallest building. I finally made it, and here is my postcard mailed as proof from the gift shop at the top. Plus, here are some other cards received and sent over the years.
