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 can be creative in finding the right postcard, find something to say, buy nice stamps, put some stickers or drawings on them. It makes me feel happy and content, knowing it will travel to far away places and make someone happy. The world feels a bit smaller now, getting to know all these countries where I have to send and receive from. It makes them less inpersonal when you connect with someone who lives there. Thank you postcrossing. You’ve made my life a bit more meaningfull.”
