As someone who has always been a fan of handwritten letters, cute photos and postcards, or anything that comes in the post that isn't a bill to be honest; Postcrossing founds it's way into my world a few years ago and I loved it immediately.
Basically Postcrossing is all about sending and receiving postcards from all over the world. You get to experience the writings and cards from people hundreds of miles away, different ages, races and cultures. The idea is that each time you send a card, you receive one back. Postcrossing generates random users for you to send a card to, and in turn a user will be randomly assigned to send you a card also.
I have loved being involved with this idea and over time have received more than 50 postcards so far. I have received a card from an elderly woman in Eastern Europe, I have received cute Kawaii cards from Asia, and I have received a card from a very young Italian boy learning to write English. Each one that pops through my letterbox is a joy to read and it feels wonderful to have such an eclectic little collection.
I wanted to share this idea with you guys, as I think it's really fun and I wanted to see what you thought. Are you interested in getting involved? If you can sign up here, and let me know if you do! :)
This is the best idea!! I think I'm going to sign up!!

ReplyDeleteI love snail mail and penpals. I've always wanted to do something like this, but I'm never sure what to write. Lol. Also, those stickers are adorable! I always buy stickers and save them for something special, that never actually happens. Lol.
