I’ve always liked interesting ideas for example lectures
in Historical Museum (not obligatory!) where I was the youngest participant or
bookcrossing and many more. Few weeks ago I explored something new –
postcrossing. Long, long time ago I was writing letters and emails with
different people – from Poland and other parts of world. My writing was global ;)
What is postcrossing? First step in you adventure will
be registration on www.postcrossing.com. It takes a few seconds and you and you can be a
member of the global community. I think that it’s worth to spend few minutes to
fill your profile. Add information about your hobby, interests etc. It also
will be easier to send you cards. If you have any special ideas about postcards
which you want to receive, write about it.
I love traveling so will be happy to receive with city
or country views. Don’t forget to add your address :)
For the
beginning you can send 5 postcards to random people. My went to USA, Russia, Germany, Lithuania and
Netherlands. Each cards has its own identity number which you should write on
it. It helps to register your card. It’s possible to swap cards with one person
for longer time – as you wish :)
This project is written in English and postcards
should be as well in English. Or you and your receiver know other language
which you can communicate with. The postcrossing started in 2005 and was
created by Portuguese – Paulo Magalhães. I think he was surprised with the
popularity of his idea. Now there are 470,000 registered users from 216
countries. The most are from Russia, USA, China and Taiwan. Polish users are 5,2%. The leader is Wilhelm from
Germany who sent 12807 cards! Woow, it’s really amazing!
I’m waiting for my first card from some place in the
world :) I recommend you this idea :)
