We’re going on a road trip through Europe. Want to come?
Out of Office is a monthly snail-mail club for people who’d rather be road-tripping through Europe right now than sitting at their desks.
THIS MONTH’S Campspot
ISSUE 03
Marstrand on the West Coast of Sweden
Västra Götaland, Sweden
Every Out of Office issue centres on a different moment from one of my road trips with Honey (my camper).
This month, we’re heading to the West Coast of Sweden. This summer I spent 10 weeks travelling through my favourite country, and I experienced so many new things!
COLLECT stamps
We might spend several months travelling through the same country before moving on.
Your passport has space to collect the stamps along the way! Sweden, Norway, Scotland and wherever my camper takes us next. You don't need to start at Issue 01 or collect every stamp. Your road trip starts wherever you join.
Missed a stamp? Stamps from previous months will become available in the shop soon!
Out of Office is a monthly snail mail club inspired by romantic European road trips. Each letter takes you somewhere new through photography, stories and collectable travel keepsakes.
Here’s what’s inside:
A letter from the road: written from my own travel POV, so a letter from Sweden will be from a moment during one of my past trips.
A6 photo postcard: the front will feature one of my outdoor photographs and the back will have the coordinates from wherever the photo was taken.
Collectable travel card: a small photographic keepsake about the place featured in that month’s issue.
Photo stamp: a miniature version of that month’s collectable photograph that goes inside your travel passport.
Travel passport: just like a real passport, but this one is for collecting stamps (you’ll receive it only once, with your first letter)
Kind words from members
“Here’s some of the many details that gave me delight: the earthy-brown, recycled paper envelope, with several “Out of Office” stamps (touch a stamp to an ink pad and hit the paper—remember those from when we were kids?), a tiny flower sticker, and a postage stamp showing a Belgian flag stuck in a stack of…waffles! (Arggh, makes me hungry just to type that…).”
The entire package transmits the feeling of the landscape and adventure it describes. I dare say it is a fully integrated experience.

“I especially found value in the photographs, and it's also really lovely to have read your letter every time and that basically it's a human crafting something from their heart (and a creative one too!!), sharing your thoughts as you go. I personally started using your cards as bookmarks in my many books, or sticking them in a journal. ”

“Oh man, it is SO cute! I LOVE how you've designed all the stationery, and the idea is super fun!”

When will I receive my envelope?
Orders close on the 27th of each month. Subscribe by then to receive that month’s issue. If you join after the 27th, your subscription will begin with the following month’s issue.
I usually send out the envelopes around the 30th of each month, and you’ll get an email as soon as yours is on its way! Delivery times vary depending on where you live, so your letter might take a few days (or a little longer!) to reach your mailbox.
