What is Postcrossing?

It's a project that allows you to send postcards and receive postcards back from random people around the world. That's real postcards, not electronic! Learn more.

How does it work?

  1. Request an address and a Postcard ID
  2. Mail a postcard to that address
  3. Receive a postcard from another postcrosser!
  4. Register the Postcard ID you have received
  5. Go to number 1 to receive more postcards!

“One of the best things every day is finding a postcard in your mailbox that someone picked out just for you. Even though you don’t know this person, you feel kind of connected. There’s just one bad thing about Postcrossing: the limit of sending postcards!
Long story short: I love Postcrossing and think every person should join!”
