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 only been in involved in Postcrossing for a little over three months, but I really love it. Apart from the obvious joy of sending and receiving post cards and choosing the right card and stamps, what I like is that the color of my skin, hair and eyes doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what I look like, how old I am, what my job is, what I drive, where I work or how much money I have or don't have. People still happily send me post cards and people are happy to receive the ones I send.”
