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!

“Through postcards I have now crossed paths with people from all over the world. I love reading about their towns, countries and reading a little bit about their lives. It is a wonderful way to embrace each other's differences as well as the things we have in common that bond us together. Thank you, Postcrossing!”
