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'm a postcrosser since 2013, I feel good when I receive a random postcard sent from somewhere, a place that i didn't know before. I enjoy the message that someone carefully write for me, the stamps are always beautiful too. Thank you so much for this wonderful website.”
