What is Postcrossing?

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?

  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!

“Such a simple, yet amazing concept. My Mum and I enjoy post crossing, and we have cork boards around the house of all the postcards we've received. I hope to enjoy many more years of post crossing!”
