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 often don’t feel well and have been unable to hike and ride my bike. Postcrossing is a simple hobby I can enjoy even when not well. I have “met” wonderful people from all over the world and have been pen pals with a few “posters” for over 6 years. It’s wonderful to hear about others’ families and hobbies, about what we have in common and to look up places they recommend I visit if I ever come to their country. People are warm and friendly.”
