Crossing a postcard

One month ago, I stumbled upon a very interesting project: PostCrossing
Essentially, it is bookcrossing applied to postcards. What? Are you wondering what all these *crossing things are?
Well, try to click on the link above, or keep reading!

Bookcrossing is “the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise” (cit. by Wikipedia).
You read a book, you like/dislike it, you set it free in the wild, ready to be picked up by another potential reader. Cool isn’t it?

Well, postcrossing is the same concept applied to postcards: you send some postcards, you receive some postcards!
Beyond that, you request one or more addresses, the system randomly selects the addresses, then is up to you to send the postcards! Eventually, the more postcard you send, the more postcard you will receive!

I’m really addicted to stamps, postcards and postmark. Travelling around the world, I always send a postcard to me (this sounds weird, I know), with a fancy stamp, and a-not-so-fancy postcard, hoping in a cool postmark.
(Why I like so much postmark is another story… (please wait few days)…)

I just sent my first five postcards, and I’m looking forward to receive a postcard!

Happy postcrossing!
