Hi, I’ve been a member of Postcrossing for about 6 months now and have enjoyed receiving a variety of postcards from many different countries, but I have yet to receive anything from countries in the Southern Hemisphere. And while I have enjoyed receiving cards from Eastern & Western Europe and Asia, I would like to receive cards from all around the world, not just from the Northern Hemisphere.
I realize that it’s all random, but still it would be nice to receive something from countries in South America & Africa, as well as Australia, or New Zealand. I looked at the statistics posted for various countries, and looked at a smattering of places and noticed that, for example:
South Africa only has around 1,816 members
Ecuador only has 38 members
Argentina only has 538 members
Australia has only over 6,000 members
New Zealand has around 1,800 members
Brazil has around 7,000 members
Why are the numbers so low for many countries in the Southern Hemisphere? Is there a way to get more members in these countries? Does anyone else think about this? Just curious.
