Letters From A Friend Abroad
Monthly letters from a different city abroad — sent by post.
Next stop: Abuja
A tiny mail club for people who love real mail, travel, thoughtful details, and the feeling of receiving something personal from far away.
NEXT STOP
Abuja, Nigeria
The next letter will be written about Abuja — a city I called home for almost three years.
Inside, I’ll be sharing stories of harmattan dust, roadside fishermen, women wrapped in bright Ankara fabric, the best mangoes growing behind compound walls, and the people who made my small corner of Abuja feel like home.
This one is deeply personal, and I cannot wait to begin creating it with you.

About the passport
The Letters From A Friend Abroad passport is included with Full Envelope subscriptions.
It arrives in your first envelope, and each month after that, you’ll receive a new city sticker to add to it.
One-time letters do not include the passport, but they are a lovely way to try one city before joining the mail club.
