How to participate in PostCrossing
It made me
Pleasantly surprised
 "Very intervesting!"
How I did it: Signing up is the easy part, remembering to send and log the postcards you receive is the tricky part.

More "How I Did It" stories
It made me 
How I did it: so...i decided to do PostCrossing on a whim when i found out about it. my interest was piqued...travel by proxy, i thought. i sent out my first 5 cards and got one response from the receiver that she would have liked to "have read something about me" instead of a blank card...after her preferences stated she liked to receive naked cards. after about 2 months, i have only received 3 out of the 5 i was supposed to get. i enjoyed the on… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just found out about PostCrossing today and its such a cool idea. I only wish mailing postcards overseas was cheaper! I just mailed off my first postcard so hopefully I'll get one back soon! Read how I did it…

Missing Card!
1 week ago
Someone from Germany messaged me today saying that she sent me a card about 60 days ago – did I get her postcard?
Now, it’s possible that it is waiting for me at home, but if it was sent 60 days ago, that’s not likely. Of course my mom is no help when I ask if I’ve gotten mail.
Me: Have I gotten any postcards?
Mom: Yes.
Me: Where from?
Mom: I don’t know.
Me: From the Czech Republic?
Mom: I think so. I don’t know.
Me: ::sigh::
I initiated two direct swaps from the Czech Republic, so I was kind of hoping she’d tell me so I could thank them.
I also have a postcard swap lined up for a fellow 43thing user once we get home! I think I’m enjoying the direct swap aspect more than the random send/random receive/repeat part at this point.

So, when do the five that I just mailed show up as sent? When their receiver logs them? I’m confused…and worried that I didn’t use the proper amount of postage. I did not know this would be so stressful!
But it’s still awesome. I found five perfect postcards in my collection for the people that I got as recipients! So, do the people who work at postcrossing have a secret camera installed in my postcard box? You just never know….

I just started this today...

I’ve heard good things about it and being a collector of postcards I can’t believe I haven’t done this before! But I’m so excited to send postcards to people – why does that part of it feel more exciting than the actual receiving? It could have something to do with the new tin of vintage postcards I just purchased last weekend!

I’m not sure what the card says; it came with a translation, but it didn’t quite make sense. “Can’t call names of fate, then the real friend hugs you.”
The back of the card says 18th century Vilnius.
Cute Basset!
The Merlion Inn.
This is the sculpture of the Five Rams, which is a fairy tale as well.
As well, the girl from France got my surprise card and sent me a thank you message. The other girl from Taiwan got my postcard today and says she wants to visit Niagara Falls now.

My sixth postcard comes
1 month ago
from Paris!
The girl who sent it to me included her return address and so I sent her one in return this morning. She said on her homepage she is interested in direct swaps, so I hope it’s a pleasant surprise for her.
Speaking of that, I’ve initiated two direct swaps; one from Taiwan, and one from a little girl from IL. So we’ll see how that goes. (:

“Why do many people indicate they don't want self-made cards? Do photos turned into cards count?”
