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
“It makes going to the community mailboxes in the cold Canadian winter much more fun to receive a postcard instead of the usual junk and bills. I love the way we can connect with people from all over the world and learn about each other's countries and cultures. We're different and yet we're all the same deep down. I've been with Postcrossing two years now and enjoy it so much. It has helped rekindle my love for snail mail that I've had since I was a kid.”
