I left postcrossing for 5 years now with more than less 5000 postcards in my collection. I found out that almost a half of collections are not my taste/wish any longer. But for sure, I will keep them. I like the writings in there. For this reason, I am now doing the swap after the list. In a hope that the collection will grow better than before.
Anyway, I will only upload the cards that I like. I noticed it consumes a lot of time. I regret not to do this since I have started postcrossing. Haha.
Well, it will be fun! I will do the cross-check for the countries that I have received written and stamped postcards as well.

During my school time, I have been taught; there are 5 continents (Asia, Africa, America, Europe and Australia). But anyway, it depends how you will update this knowledge. You can get another reference or read here. I just need to copy the list.
According to wordatlas, the countries by the continent:
