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 has been in my life from the teenage age until now in my mid-20s. It's always been a safe space for me where I could relax and have interesting conversations with so many nice people around the world. There are so many warm-hearted people here who go the extra mile to put a smile on a stranger's face. I couldn't think of a better hobby. ♥”
