I came across a way to send a letter from anywhere: Snailmailr. For 99 cents, this website will send two pages anywhere in the world. Extra pages do cost more, but if you need to include an image or a PDF, Snailmailr can print it just as easily as text. The service will even print images in color for no extra charge.

Most digital nomads have already minimized the situations where actually mailing a letter is necessary, but they do occasionally crop up. Even if you’re just trying to figure out a way to communicate with an elderly relative while you’re off in some exotic country, using Snailmailr can be a simple solution, especially paired with Earth Class Mail.
