I got following question I couldn’t find an answer too.
If I’m in travel mode in a different country could I get an address from that country if the person has selected the “postcards from own country” mode? Do I have to have the mark selected for that too? or does travel mode not allow to send to the country one is sending from?
And: If I’m in travel mode can I draw an address of my home country?
What about in a situation, when for example I live in Finland, and have chosen not to receive or send cards from country. But, when someone else from Finland travels to another country, can they then get my address?
(I started to think, that last summer I got a postcard from Finland, but I was sure it can’t be a Postcrossing card, since I’ve kept “not my country” all the time. Maybe someone used travel mode, got my address, and thought to send it from Finland? (It had gotten wet, so I can’t see if there is any id).)
No, I think both parties need to have the option of sending within their own country enabled. I’m pretty sure I’ve read that somewhere but not able to link to or quote.
When using Travel Mode in a different country, the option to allow exchanges with own (home) country works just like when you are back home: you may get an address in your home country if you have the option selected.
While this is not what is being asked here, this may be interesting to know: when traveling using Travel Mode in a different country, we always excluded that country from the possible destinations. This is mostly for simplicity, as we would also need to account for the receivers option on whether to exchange postcards with own country.
