What is Postcrossing?

It's a project that allows you to send postcards and receive postcards back from random people around the world. That's real postcards, not electronic! 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!

“If I could, I would want to travel the world and see everything in it. I know that's not even a reality, but with Postcrossing, I can see many little pieces and meet the wonderful people behind those pieces. It may not be traveling the whole world, but thanks to fellow Postcrossers, I can see a little of the world I had always hoped I could see.”
