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!

“There is something quite magical about it. For me, since I moved recently and left most of my friends behind, the cards in my mailbox are a lifeline, a way of feeling connected and finding I have new friends in faraway places. During this critical time of enforced isolation Postcrossing is more important than ever!”
