What is Postcrossing?

It's a project that allows you to send postcards and receive postcards back from random people around the world. 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!

“It has been seven years since I started Postcrossing but even today I feel excited and alive to plan around the kind of postcards and stationery to use to send mail. I look forward to my received cards and smile wide at every 'Hurray!' email in my inbox. I cherish the connections I made through this project. Postcrossing has made life more meaningful and happy.”
