WIYM: what3words: 3 word address on a postcard

Lots of places in this world have no postal address - your favourite picnic spot in the park, for example.

And some places have a postal address that covers a huge area - an entire university campus, for example.

You could use GPS coordinates to identify such spots more precisely, but who can remember those?

Another possibility is to use 3 word address such as "admiration.itself.illusionist", the edge of the Grand Canyon Skywalk. 3 words are easier to remember than something like "36.012222, -113.811111".

The Swap:

What is the 3 word address for a location that has meaning to you, such as your own front door, your favourite picnic spot, the place where you proposed to your sweetheart, a place with a great view, your off-the-beaten-path vacation cabin, or anything else?

Use the what3words map at https://map.what3words.com/ to find out, or the what3words app for iOS or Android. (Switch to Satellite View if needed for places that aren't on or close to a named road, or to get the right entrance of a building.)

Once you have the 3 word address for your chosen place, write it on a postcard to your swap partner with a short description of what that place is! You can also send 3 word addresses for more than one place if you want.

The postcard itself is sender's choice, though it's nice to have a look at your partner's profile to make sure you're not sending something they dislike strongly.

If the postcard you send depicts a place, you could try to find out the 3 word address for that place and include that :)

Also sender's choice whether to send the card "naked" and stamped or inside an envelope.

When deciding when to post, remember that the send-by date is just around Easter in many countries and post office times might be different then; better to send earlier rather than too late. You have more than a week so this shouldn't be a problem.

Note: since a 3 word address identifies a spot on Earth pretty specifically, you may not want to use your front door's 3 word address if you use a PO Box rather than a street address for swap-bot; and please don't use the 3 word address of another person's home without their permission.

No rating filter on this swap; any group member may join. I will still be checking profiles before assigning partners and reserve the right to ban anyone for any or no reason.

(Disclaimer: I don't work for what3words nor do they pay me. I just think this is an interesting idea and wanted to tell some people about it.)
