  3. Receive a postcard from another postcrosser!
  4. Register the Postcard ID you have received
  5. Go to number 1 to receive more postcards!

“Opening the mailbox and finding a colorful card, written with kind words from a total stranger; what a nice world we live in! I've always loved to write, travel and meet folks world wide. Postcrossing lets me do all of that from my home; mailbox to mailbox.”
