I was surprised to find out that mail was not dead yet. I was disappointed that people only used e-mail and forgot about writing with their hand and adding real stamps or sending real envelopes. These things always made me feel really happy, and when I found out that something like postcrossing existed I fell in love with it. And so I want to tell you more about this project : Postcrossing.
The project:
The goal of this project is to allow people to receive postcards from all over the world, for free. Well, almost free! The main idea is that: if you send a postcard, you will receive one back from a random Postcrosser from somewhere in the world.
How does it work?
First, the short version:
1.request an address from the website
2.mail the postcard to the address
3.wait to receive a postcard
4.register the received postcard in the system
For me to find a postcard in my mail box that someone send especially to me is... well really exciting and I would love to encourage people to join this project.
And here are few of my favorite received postcards:
 |
| From Ukraine |
 | |
| From Croatia |
 |
| From Russia |
 |
| From Czech Republic |
 |
| From China |
You can find more of my postcards here.
And I would love to hear from you what you think about postcrossing.
Happy Postcrossing!!
