  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's a way to send your love over the whole world. To share your experiences with others. And after you wake up, there can be something waiting for you in the mailbox. If I see all the love that people send me and others, I get hope for the future!”
