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!

“Postcrossing showed me, that we all share the same wishes and dreams. It doesn’t matter where we live. We are not that different!
Postcrossing is like building a bridge: It becomes much easier to understand other cultures when you know the people.
The best thing I ever started!”
