What is Postcrossing?
Postcrossing is a free platform that enables users to exchange physical postcards with random participants around the world. The core premise is simple: when a user sends a postcard to another Postcrosser, they will receive a postcard from a different, randomly selected Postcrosser in return. This creates a global network of postcard exchanges, allowing participants to collect a diverse array of postcards from various locations they may have never encountered otherwise
