Does Postcrossing have a special meaning for you? Does it make you smile every time you receive a postcard from the other side of the planet? Did it transform the way you see your mailbox? Now here’s a chance to share all that with everyone.

We are preparing a new section for Postcrossing with testimonials from our members. It will feature what YOU think about Postcrossing and how important it is for you. So, we prepared a webpage where you can tell us your thoughts about the project: no special rules, other than to be honest about what you think and to try to keep it short. And don’t forget to tell us how you want to be identified by (your name and/or location), or if you prefer that your testimonial to remain anonymous – we’ll respect that.

Oh, by the way, we will hand-pick a couple of the best ones to receive a postcard from us, thanking you for the shared love! So don’t be shy and tell us what you think about Postcrossing. We are looking forward to hear from you!

I love postcrossing, it sure is nice to get something enjoyable in the mail (other than bills). Keep up the great work. Love to get cards from people all over the world. Thanks

I found 300 words for too little to explain my addiction and the joy it brings to me life :-)
Looking forward reading the efforts of us all.

Good afternoon! I very much like to receive cards! Mum reads to me that on a card is written also we together we search on a map for that place, whence it has come. And still I very much like to choose on mail new cards for sending, I always choose them. Thanks to all of you I see what huge and perfect this world!

Postcrossing is the bright spot in my day, I love it and so does my family. The only 'negative'thing about it is the cost...

300 words are definitely too short… ;-) I agree with Bebe22. Just sent mine. ;-) Hugs, Isa

uhm, i would like to correct your statement on the entry about the 2million postcards.... you said, 'several friendships', well i have managed to get a lot of new friendships around the world just because of joining postcrossing. I've postcrossed under two flags now, Indonesia and UK, and you know what? No matter which flag i am under, I love it! I love getting and sending postcards! Let's celebrate this 2millionth card! :) Cheeers!!!

Hello Paulo,

I am happy to see such changes for the benefit of our members.
Well i have a question for which i am not able to find the answer from the Postcrossing Helpers.
Whom should i contact to find the answer?
(its with regard to the non active members, due to which the valueable cards get expires)
Is there any Post to write your views and recommendation for the better working of POSTCROSSING?

Intersting. I was very happy to hear that two millions postcards have travelled around in the World. I have been a postcrosser for a year - i found the page by an accident - and I am happy about that. I hope more danes might be interested in postcrossing. Best wishes to all of you from ville69

I second what Sylvie 202 said above. Postcrossing is a chance for me to stop, slow down, and do a very small random act of kindness to brighten someone else's day across our planet. Also I look forward to the mini-vacations I can take when I retrieve the postcard from my mailbox as I savor and read a fellow human's writings to me in my corner of the world. Postcrossing is a fabulous idea, let's go for three million postcards!

there is something to be said about snail mail.The world is moving so fast and it is nice to walk away from the letter box with something other than a bill.Its like a mini vacation.Brightens my day and I hope my cards have the same effect.
