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!

“There is something quite magical about it. For me, since I moved recently and left most of my friends behind, the cards in my mailbox are a lifeline, a way of feeling connected and finding I have new friends in faraway places. During this critical time of enforced isolation Postcrossing is more important than ever!”
