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's lovely to receive postcards from all over the world! I'm always very happy when I find a card from my mailbox and I'm happy to read the things people write to me. This also improves my English and writing and I can learn about other cultures and countries!”
