Hurray! 🎉 It’s Postcrossing’s 13th anniversary!
Thirteen years ago today was the start of this great adventure that keeps connecting the world through postcards. It’s been a great ride so far, not without its ups and downs, but always a fulfilling and learning experience. On this special day, we’d like to say thank you to all of you out there who still take pleasure in sending postcards to strangers, trusting that this small gesture will make their days a little better. Thank you for believing in this idea, and for coming along for the ride — we wouldn’t have made it without you!
Sometime ago we went back to Braga and took a photo of the balcony where everything started, in a student’s house next to the university. Paulo points it out:
It’s still there, now housing different students and being witness to their adventures. May theirs be as grand as this one has been so far! 😊

Happiest of happy birthdays! What a wonderful idea Postcrossing was and is! It's so great to come home from work each day and check for a new postcard in the mailbox, wondering where it has come from. Thank you and keep up the great work!

Happy 13th! The teen years are the best.
Happy 13th Anniversary Postcrossing! Wishing you much success for another 13 years! Thank you.
I loved mail as a kid. It was used much more then for personal correspondence. Postcrossing opened up my life again to the beauty of connecting through mail nearly four years and 1500 postcards (sent) ago! I have several penfriends! And I meet with a group of Postcrossers twice a year. I could go on and on how Postcrossing starts my mornings, how the World Cup has been made more special with postcards from Russia, how Iโve discovered that most people the world over just want peace and love in their lives. Thank you for establishing such a wonderful way to reach out and be reached for:)
Happy 13th Anniversary!! ๐๐๐๐๐
