This map tracks the postcards currently in transit for the Postcrossing project.
If you'd like to receive a postcard from a random place on earth, sign up. It's easy to participate:
- register to get a login
- obtain an address and a postcard ID
- mail the postcard
- wait to receive a postcard from another postcrosser
- register the postcard ID of the card you have received
- go to 2
There's no cost to play (except for the postcard and postage fees), and more than 500,000 postcards have been registered in the project as having been sent and received.
I love thinking about all the stories behind these postcards.
Found at Moleskinerie.
How interesting! Thanks for posting this and letting us know. I'll pass it along on my blog, too. :)

I like the East German stamp that they have on their website. (DDR stands for "Deutsche Demokratische Republik" = "German Democratic Republic" - I grew up there and it wasn't "democratic". Still, we had nice stamps. :)

Hi Kai - Very interesting! That's one thing I love about projects like this --- learning new things and "meeting" new bloggers.
So, thanks for the new fact and for dropping by. :)
