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!

“In the 21st century, there's still something magical about putting pen to paper, writing with your hand the words that stem from your heart and establish that connection with a total stranger in a gesture that may survive over time... I absolutely LOVE Postcrossing. Thank you for giving us this chance, Postcrossing team!”
