Post Crossing
PostCrossing lets you receive postcards from around the globe ~ just for sending them out!
Pick up some good cards from your town, Art museum, local attraction ~ anything you like really! Pick out a few. Purchase some stamps ~ local if you want and international. Go to the web site and after you sign up, Request an address. PostCrossing emails you an address of some new friend and a special code that identifies your card.
Some folks have little bios & suggestions for a postcard they'd like. Write them note & mail it off.
Now the good part happens; When your card is received that special code is registered.
Your name is now at the top of the list to receive a post card!
You will get a post card from someone else ~ another new friend! ~ and so you go to the web site to register their card. (now they are at the top of the list ~ round & round.)
The site lets you sign up for 5 at a time, local & international options, link to your blog & give a little bio. There are even a few different flickr group/communities to share your cards.
Such a small nice thing ~ a reason to look forward to the mail.
