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!

“Postcrossing not only brings beautiful cards to my mailbox, but it also gives me something to talk about with my friends. I show them the cards I've received and tell them how it piques my curiosity about the card's origin. I make them laugh when I tell them that Google Translate has become a "friend" 😉 and helps me create a nice closing sentence in the recipient's language. It's so wonderful to discover that the good of humanity can be spread through a postcard ❣️”
