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!

“It has been seven years since I started Postcrossing but even today I feel excited and alive to plan around the kind of postcards and stationery to use to send mail. I look forward to my received cards and smile wide at every 'Hurray!' email in my inbox. I cherish the connections I made through this project. Postcrossing has made life more meaningful and happy.”
