It's a project that allows you to send postcards and receive postcards back from random people around the world. Learn more.

How does it work?

  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 going to the mailbox and finding a new postcard with all the beautiful handwriting, stamps, bits of information about the person or their country. Its a wonderful brief connection to someone on the other side of the world but it brings great happiness.”
