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?
- Request an address and a Postcard ID
- Mail a postcard to that address
- Receive a postcard from another postcrosser!
- Register the Postcard ID you have received
- Go to number 1 to receive more postcards!
Our happy members
“Postcrossing is a window on tiny, interesting details about ordinary folks’ lives from all manner of countries and cultures all over the world that I would never learn otherwise. Being involved broadens my horizons amazingly and makes me so much more culturally aware. And it’s so incredibly positive. People make a huge effort over a small rectangle of card just because there’s another person at the end of it. It’s a simple, beautiful thing and I am so glad to be part of it.”
