Hello, my name is Anna. This blog is about all the beautiful islands around the world.

THE FIRST POSTCARD

I am extremely happy to present the first postcard I've received. It is from Léa, who lives on a French island la Réunion.

As Léa wrote in her postcard: Koifé? is creole for what's up?, and creole dialect is widely spoken on Réunion (even though it is a French island).

In one of the pictures we can also see some cold lava, which according to Léa proves that the island tries to kill its inhabitants every once in a while :)

My big dream is to receive postcards sent from every island in the world (at least those that have a postbox). If you would like to help me, please contact me at letters.from.islands@gmail.com.
