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?
- Request an address and a Postcard ID
- Mail a postcard to that address
- Receive a postcard from another postcrosser!
- Register the Postcard ID you have received
- Go to number 1 to receive more postcards!
Our happy members
“I thought that I was honestly the only person on earth who sent postcards, and I don't even remember how I found this website, but when I did, it made me so happy to find other people who share this hobby. This is something I hope to teach my own kids to do when they get older, but I love this and everything about it.”
Joel, American teacher in China
