Rainy boots, sand *everywhere* and a few hundred new baby pine planted! 💪 Our yearly tree-planting meetup happened again... and yes, it rained again! 😅 Here’s the story and photos of this year's event: www.postcrossing.com/blog/2026/04... #postcrossing #treeplanting

A new triangle-shaped U.S. postage stamp commemorates the Postcrossing project, connecting people globally through postcard exchanges.

Aaron recently visited Malaysia and came back with a whole collection of postbox sightings for #PostboxSaturday, from classic red Pos Malaysia boxes to a lineup with a surprise yellow one in the middle! 😍 Naturally, they all had to be fed some postcards!

Look what arrived in our mailbox! 😍 A small local magazine from Germany featuring an interview with postcrossers Christian, Katrin, Lisa and Moritz. And yes, they showed up like super stars in matching Postcrossing t-shirts… iconic! Does your town also have its own magazine? Spread the word!

✍️ If you're between 9–15 years old, the UPU’s International Letter Writing Competition is for you! This year’s theme is especially dear to us: “Why human connection matters in a digital world.”

Reactivating my ancient @postcrossing.com profile because sending out and receiving random postcards from all over the world feels like one pleasant way to feel like a human on this planet with other humans these complicated days. Off to the post office to get my stamps situation in order!

We’ve waited a looooong time for this: USPS Postcrossing stamps are coming! 🎉 They’re triangular, super colourful, and they launch May 26, 2026 at the Boston Stamp Show! Hurray! #Postcrossing #USPS #PostcrossingStamps #Stamps #Philately #Postcards #Boston2026

And here we are, 86 million postcards! 🥳 Well done, everyone! The lucky one was ES-888468, a postcard that traveled from Spain to the USA in 22 days!

Less than 2,500 postcards to go until Postcrossing hits 86,000,000 registered postcards... 🤯 It’ll probably happen later today — want to play along? Guess the sender and recipient countries of card 86 million in the replies!

Poppies, sunshine, and a postcard ready to head off into the world! 😍 #postcrossing #postcards
