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 at least one back from a random Postcrosser from somewhere in the world.
Why? Because, like the author, there are lots of people who like to receive real mail. The element of surprise of receiving postcards from different places in the world (many of which you probably have never heard of) can turn your mailbox into a box of surprises - and who wouldn't like that?
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

Have fun! It would be good to see the different stamps too. Remember the ones we have that are still in envelopes? :p
Haha, can you believe i haven't been able to find any postcards to buy so far???
Need to go to the Post office or to some souvenir shops i guess.
