  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!

“We found out about this wonderful initiative from a friend and we are so glad we did! We LOVE receiving postcards from around the world and reading the messages on the back. It is always awesome to receive postcards that are personalized because it shows that people really care about you even though you've never met before! We love Postcrossing and are glad we found it!”
