Have you already tried postcrossing?

The idea is to send postcards to the addresses that you get when you register. Then someone receives your postcard and registers it to the database-->you'll get a new address to send a postcard to, plus you will receive a postcard from someone-->you register the card that you received. You can only have a maximum of 5 cards travelling at a time.

It's very cool and a nice hobby, I've just started this like a week ago, and I've already received one card from Holland, and two people have received my card :)

Yeah , i've read about this..and i've registered too and i got someones address but haven't sent any cards yet.

It sounds really interesting and fun though!

 

I really should send the card.. :P

I registered :smug:

Way to go! :D

Anyone else?

it sounds cool

 

but im abit paranoid

im too scared to just give ppl my address to send me letter and post it on the net

Haha this thread is like 5 years old, still want to say something

 

I absolutly love Postcrossing! I'm a Postcrosser now for exactly one year and I already received 154 postcards! The cool thing is, in my profile I ask people to write about what connects them to Coldplay! And I've received some wonderful postcards with stories from Coldplay concerts they've been to, and songs they relate to special moments. Also got some Coldplay postcards! All I want to say is join Postcrossing if you love sending and recieving postcard, and love to hear other ones opinion/stories about for example Coldplay :)

Some postcards I received:

 

 

The blue one is a homemade 3d card! And the one at the top right is also handmade! She made the photo herself! A note with "Look how they shine for you" on it, and then some stars! Love it! Sent her a postcard back of course.

 

And here is a really lovely Coldplay story I'd like to share with you:

 

Oh im also a postcrosser :) i sent some cards, but for some reason people dont register them :9 so my statistics are really low :(

WOWOW KingChris thats an awesome idea!!!

:rolleyes: I'm a postcrosser too !

i'm a crossdresser

Wow my first card has to be sent to RUSSIA :D

 

How do you know if someone picked your name?

^you dont know whos person to send the card, you just wait and then hopefully the person dont forget to write the code on the card , then after you register your card you will know who´s person :)

me and my friend just joined! :awesome: will be sending my first set of postcards on wednesday! :D

Sounds pretty cool. :awesome:

 

I may join.

3 of my cards have been received... I still got nothing ....

i joined this new year.

already sent 3 (well 2 have to be posted tomorrow) [uSA, Poland & Netherlands]

Wow my profile is almost empty compared to other fellow coldplayer-postcrossers.

btw what does the swap refers to exactly? (swap postcards as in someone collect say only butterflies themed ones?)

i think it is when postcrossers exhange cards directly to each other, without postcrossing's help. it probably depends on the postcrossers if they want a certain theme or something.

 

edit: i started last december and 2 of my 5 cards have been received. :wacky:

well mystery solved on the swap, i got a postcard and the sender wants i send her one of my postcards (i guess she likes the ones i use to send :uhoh: )

yet i'm a long way to be on the top senders of my country, (yet my rate is 6 postcards sent per week) but is so amazing experience allowing to "travel" so far :D

I've just register :nice:.

i don't know what happened to two of my private swaps. they never replied if they got the postacrds that i sent or if they actually sent one for me. :sick: but others are just amazing. :nice:

i swapped postcard with one, but never got an answer if she ever received my postcard.

i'm going to swap several postcards to a fellow postcrosser in Poland :dance:

and penpaling with another one from Belarus to practice my german.

:nice:

i got the offer of swapping other postcards and even stamps from other postcrossers too.

This sounds so neat, but if I am sending it to another country what if they don't know English, or I don't know their language!? Plus, I would not know what to write to random people!

You can always write "Happy postcrossing" only. Or just few words about the weather.
