Postcrossing is an online project that allows its members to send and receive postcards from a random person somewhere in the world. Where the postcards come from is always a surprise! Postcrossing is the union of the words "postcard" and "crossing" meaning "exchange". Joining the project is completely free; however, the postcards themselves and postage fees to mail them are the responsibility of each user. By June 2015 Postcrossing had more than 554,570 members in 213 different countries who had registered and exchanged over 30 million postcards that have traveled over 151 billion kilometers.
