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 joined Postcrossing just a few months ago, I am in total love with it. Having grown up with penpals around the world, I find this a fun exciting way to brighten one's life, in a very fast-paced, social media-driven world. There is nothing nicer than waiting for the postie, so I can check the mailbox for my next postcard, from someone across our world who has taken time to write something. I have told all my friends to join. Love love love it.”
