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?
- Request an address and a Postcard ID
- Mail a postcard to that address
- Receive a postcard from another postcrosser!
- Register the Postcard ID you have received
- Go to number 1 to receive more postcards!
Our happy members
“I appreciate all kinds of art, but mostly the simple ones heading straight into your heart. And that's what postcards written with love from completely strangers are, aren't they? The thought that someone you don't know made the effort to pick up a card, get a lovely stamp for it and took their time to write a message just for you is incredible. It makes me feel special and happy - and the best thing is it's happening regularly. See you on the flipside!”
