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!

“I've learned so much about the people, cities and countries all over the world. Whether the postcard is from a retired school teacher in Germany, or a family who home schools in the USA, I love hearing the stories. It connects us all by sharing our stories. ♥”
