What is Postcrossing?

It's a project that allows you to send postcards and receive postcards back from random people around the world. That's real postcards, not electronic! 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!

“It's more than just a hobby: it's a therapy, something that helps me deal with the consequences of being socially isolated. It's a wonderful way to stay connected and to keep afloat. And it's definitely my favorite part of the day! :)”
