how it works

The Roaming Snail is a monthly letter that explores the world through slow mail. Here’s the path from sign-up to receiving your first dispatch.

Your month with me

  1. Sign Up Choose US or international delivery and complete checkout. You'll receive an email confirming your subscription.
  2. I prepare your letter Each month I focus on one destination. I'll pack stories, artwork, and a hands-on activity inspired by that place into a single envelope.
  3. Monthly cutoff & mailing Sign up by the 15th of the month to be included in that month’s batch. I mail letters on the 16th.
  4. Open your mail When it lands in your mailbox, you’ve got a travel adventure in paper form.

Sign up by the 15th of each month. I mail letters on the 16th of each month.

What arrives in your mailbox

I build each letter around one location. Expect a mix of reading, visuals, and something you can do with your hands—designed to feel like a thoughtful letter from afar.
