Long Way Letters

A letter worth waiting for.

Long Way Letters (LWL) is a monthly snail mail club for those who miss the feeling of receiving something real—and for those who are ready to find it beyond a screen.

I call them "dispatches & delights."

Each month, you'll receive a thoughtfully crafted letter—a short story from my life as an American immigrant in the Andes of Perú, sometimes traveling beyond my home in the Sacred Valley outside Cusco.

Alongside each story, you'll find:

  • Two original postcards from my photography (one to keep, one to share)
  • Small surprises—recipes, bookmarks, stickers, or pieces of art
  • A story told in full—through words, objects, and carefully chosen stamps

Every envelope is intentionally curated to travel light—under 20 grams—and about a third of your subscription supports the journey itself through postage.

This isn't just mail. It's a ritual. A slower way to connect. A reason to pause.
A story you can hold in your hands—and pass along.

Join the ritual. Receive your first letter.
