  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!

“I LOVE SURPRISES! Getting a postcard without notice gives me so much happiness! When I receive a postcard from a stranger, it makes me so happy to see that people have taken time out of their busy day to write me a thoughtful message and carefully chosen a postcard based on my likings. It makes me feel loved, even though I've never met these people! Thank you for this platform and these BEAUTIFUL people I got to connect with because of it.”
