I have just discovered this activity via a scrapbooking site and wondered if anyone on here does it?
For those who don't know it (I had to google it) -you sign up to the post crossing site with your name and address and send and receive postcards all over the world. There is no other contact, you are given a name and address, my first one is in Russia,send them a card and you get one from someone else, somewhere else.
Can't wait to see where my first card comes from.

Do you write anything other than the address on these postcards ? Is it a way to encourage snail mail penfriends ?
I can see why it would be popular, getting postcards showing all sorts of sights and sites, from who knows where next. But how does the system work - what decides who sends to whom, and how often ? I'm wondering if the first crossposter in Ulan Bator will become the most sought after...while someone in Lesser Tumbleweed, Boondock County, will wait forever for a card.
