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!

“If I could, I would want to travel the world and see everything in it. I know that's not even a reality, but with Postcrossing, I can see many little pieces and meet the wonderful people behind those pieces. It may not be traveling the whole world, but thanks to fellow Postcrossers, I can see a little of the world I had always hoped I could see.”
