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!

“Postcrossing brings back memory of my childhood before email and mobile phone. I used to have penpals from different countries. Nothing can beat receiving mail/postcard in your mailbox. The anticipation is part of the fun which email can never match.”
