Moving away

This is what they get
What to write to a friend who is moving away
“Open when you land. The rest are for the days after, when the boxes are gone and the flat is too quiet.”
“You are allowed to hate it for the first month. Call me anyway. I will be here at exactly the same time, in exactly the same chair.”
“Three hundred miles is a train, not a goodbye. Here are six letters for the six moments I know are coming.”
How it works
What they will see
- Pulls the coral cord off a linen folder with their name on the label.
- Picks a paper pocket — “open when you miss me” — and the letter rises out crumpled, then smooths flat.
- Slips it back into its pocket, then writes you a word or a few lines in return.

Names, your message, and the details this format uses — a date, a place, wishes or a few photos. No account needed to start.

Frequently asked questions
What should the letters be labelled?
Label them by the moment, not the date: open when you land, open when you miss home, open when the job is awful, open when something good happens. Your friend picks the one that matches the day — which is the reason they still have it open six months later.
Is this better than a card I hand them at the airport?
It is the part a paper card cannot do: the letters arrive with them and stay unread until they are needed, and when they open one they can write back to you in the same page. A card in a suitcase is read once, on the worst possible day.
Do they need an app in another country?
No. It is a link that opens in whatever browser their phone already has, anywhere, on any roaming plan. Building and previewing is free; sending costs from €1.
