Sand from Around the World – From Exchange Stories to Special Gifts
Over the years, my passion for collecting sand samples from around the world has led to some truly fascinating and unexpected experiences. What started as a simple hobby has turned into a journey filled with unique encounters, surprising packages, and exchanges with fellow sand collectors from every corner of the globe.
Each sample of sand that I’ve received tells a story – some through organized trades, others through spontaneous gifts or even entire collections that have been entrusted to me. Whether it’s a package of sand arriving from a distant land or a memorable exchange that led to new friendships, every grain of sand has its own journey.
On this page, I invite you to dive into these stories. Some will make you laugh, others may surprise you, but all of them are part of the incredible world of sand collecting. I hope you enjoy reading about these experiences as much as I’ve enjoyed living them.
