What is Postcrossing?
It's a project that allows you to send postcards and receive postcards back from random people around the world. That's real postcards, not electronic! Learn more.
How does it work?
- Request an address and a Postcard ID
- Mail a postcard to that address
- Receive a postcard from another postcrosser!
- Register the Postcard ID you have received
- Go to number 1 to receive more postcards!
Our happy members
“It is a fleeting moment of connection with a stranger, trying to give them a smile. It is feeling your heart-rate pick up at the sound of post dropping onto your doormat. In a fast-moving world, it reminds us to be patient and accept there are things beyond our control.”
