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!

“I will never ever forget my cheer when checking my mailbox for the first time finding that a card from a foreigner was lying inside. Thanks Postcrossing for giving me the chance of meeting so many friends from all over the world!”
