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 love to read what my fellow postcrossers write on the cards. I appreciate the time they take to write to me - a stranger. This is something very unique: Taking time to send joy and happiness through the world. Its a little piece of making the world a better place.”
