hello 
i don’t know if there is a similar topic somewhere on the forum and if this is the right place i put it.
last summer i started swapping postcards with a postcrosser in uganda, i sent some and received some, but after receiving the latest i found that uganda is in the black list with other 47 countries that italy can’t send to, so i thought i had to put in standby my swaps with that postcrosser. 
recently a postcrosser from south africa won a postcard from one of my lotteries and for the same reason i can’t send him his postcard.
i was sad and worried about that.
but then i had an idea i put those postcards into an envelope and sent it to a postcrosser in germany who i am swapping with, because he’s been so kind to agree to send them from his country which is enabled to send to uganda and south africa
for example germany can’t send only to 16 countries
i also had some german stamps left from my latest trip to germany in 2019 so i used them for this 
i’ve read on the postal monitor there are countries that cannot send to a lot of other countries.
maybe some of you had the same idea to keep on sending postcard to your postcardpals this idea is not valid for official postcards because the system won’t give you an address of a country where your country can’t send to.
i hope this topic will help
can someone tell me about similar mailing experiences?
