What is snail mail?

Snail mail is a popular English term for the traditional postal service, so it's mail sent the old-fashioned way.

For whom is this Dutch culture & history snail mail?

It's for anyone who would like to learn more about Dutch culture and history in person. My snail-mail about Dutch culture and history is the perfect gift for any friend or family member who is interested in learning more about The Netherlands. It's a great gift for special occasions or just because you feel like they deserve a bit of fun and joy in their lives.

Why did I create a snail mail about Dutch culture & history?

I'm the founder of Visiting The Dutch Countryside, which is a platform where I teach people more about Dutch culture and history. I generally teach people more about The Netherlands through my website and social media.

The reason I started sharing this information is that many people (Dutch and those from outside the country) do not know how rich and diverse Dutch culture and history truly are.

While I still enjoy making these videos and articles, I do feel like I'm missing something tangible. That's why the Itse Mail Club is here and why you can grab your snail mail through this webshop.

Some of the subjects of the Itse Mail Club are the Hanseatic League, river fishing history, history and differences of the Dutch carnival celebrations, important Dutch women in our Dutch history, the importance and differences between the KNRM and Reddingsbrigade, the story behind the 5th of May Celebration and the political prisoners march during WW2, etc.

What's in this Dutch history and culture snailmail?

You get four pieces in every envelope. There are three things that always stay the same, and there's one piece that changes whenever I want, basically.

1. In every edition you get an introduction letter from me. In this letter, I will not only write about the content of this month's culture and history snail mail, but also share some of my thoughts.

2. Two double-sided A4-size sheet of well-researched information about a specific subject, where I discuss something within Dutch culture and history.

3. A postcard of an old photo from the Dutch National Archives that fits the month or the stories that I've talked about in the snail mail.

4. And lastly, something creative or stimulating for your brain. A crossword, photo print, bingo card, etc. This changes every time. It's something the person can look forward to every single month.

You, or the person who receives the gift, will receive all of my Itse Mail by post hopefully between the 15th and 20th of December 2026. Keep in mind that it's the holidays and it's a busy time.

Costs for track and trace/ shipping will be calculated in your basket. Any taxes for this shipment coming into your country will be at your own cost.
