Postcrossing
is an online organization were your can send and receive postcards from around
the world. It is free to sign up and you just need to send a postcard to
receive one.
I first sent a postcard in September 2011 to New York USA and it took 8 days, which I think is a miracle lol. You can send up to 5 at a time to start off with so I received addresses for Germany, Netherlands, Taiwan and Belarus.

Once you
have sent out your postcards you have to wait for the receiver to register the
postcard and then your address gets given to someone random. I am quite an
impatient person so waiting to receive a postcard was hard.
After
nearly a month of waiting a received 3 postcards on the same day, so I guess it
was worth the wait. Since then I have been sending and receiving postcards from
around the world and connecting to people from all walks of life.
