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!

“Whenever I'm having a bad day, nothing cheers me up more than sending someone a postcard. I like both sending and receiving postcards but sending postcards is really what makes my day. I love being connected to people around the world and the good feeling that I get when someone tells me that they really appreciated my postcard. And because of Postcrossing my postcard collection has gotten a little bit bigger and my interest in stamps has gotten bigger.”
