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?
- Request an address and a Postcard ID
- Mail a postcard to that address
- Receive a postcard from another postcrosser!
- Register the Postcard ID you have received
- Go to number 1 to receive more postcards!
Our happy members
“I've learned so much about the people, cities and countries all over the world. Whether the postcard is from a retired school teacher in Germany, or a family who home schools in the USA, I love hearing the stories. It connects us all by sharing our stories. ♥”
