The artist behind the postcard: an interview with JankaSzklanka

In 2024, we took inspiration from World Postcard Day and decided to create the World Postcard Day souvenir.

As geocachers attended Events far and wide in the week surrounding October 1, meeting their communities and making connections all around the world, we realized one thing: geocachers LOVE postcards.

This year, we partnered with artist and geocacher JankaSzklanka to create a special trackable postcard that encapsulates geocaching. You can find this design and the official Geocaching World Postcard Day postcard soon at Shop Geocaching.

Meet your community volunteers—a feature filled with board games, pikas, and the Seattle Gum Wall!

It’s a well-known fact that geocaching is a community-based game. After all, what would the game be without creative cache owners and the engaged cachers who log their finds?

Another vital aspect of the game is the group of geocaching community volunteers who dedicate their time, passion, and talent to support the worldwide geocaching community.

  • Reviewers review and publish geocaches that meet geocaching guidelines
  • Moderators guide and monitor participation in the Geocaching Forums
  • Translators translate geocaching content into 25+ languages
  • EarthCache reviewers use their expertise in geology to review and publish EarthCaches

The geocaching community currently has nearly 400 volunteers who support geocachers and provide guidance to new players—all for the love of the game. Though most volunteers are also active players, a large portion of the community hasn’t yet had the chance to meet them.

Here’s a brief introduction to volunteers you might have seen in your community! Continue reading →
