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
“After medical discharged from the military, I struggled to transition back into civilian life and bounced from job to job. The camaraderie I had in the armed forces was lost. I hated the daily grind among selfish people, constantly competing and unable to trust. Depression overcame me & I lost hope in humanity. Discovering this POSTCROSSING PROJECT has been more effective than all my meds at improving my health by introducing me to kind people around the globe! Thank you!!!!!”
