We recently discovered this great way of trading postcards worldwide. For each postcard you send, your address is given to someone in another part of the world, who then sends you a postcard. When you register with this website, you are allowed 5 international addresses to begin with. Our first 5 cards went to Germany, Finland, Estonia, The Netherlands and Hungary. Each address include a basic profile about the person you are sending postcards to. They may enjoy certain kinds of postcards or stamps or have special interests. For instance, one of our cards went to a kindergarten teacher who lives near the beach in the Netherlands and enjoys photography. We included the fact that we homeschool and live near the mountains in our profile.

When your first postcards is received, your address is then passed on to another postcrosser and you are allowed another address to send to. So as long as you are sending cards, you will receive them.

We haven't received any yet, but our first sent card was just received last week. We are looking forward to creating a collection of worldwide postcards.

We would also like to have USA postcards. Postcrossing.com connects you internationally, but not nationally. So we are just doing this through our own sources. If any of you would be interested in exchanging state postcards, we would love to trade with you!! Just email me privately with your address and I will send you mine.
