Postcrossing4/1/2018 Hi there!
Here I am with a short blog post about an amazing hobby I found for myself few days ago. On Thursday I was just searching something on Internet and suddenly came across an article about postcrossing. It’s an international exchange of postcards between people from all over the world, who have even never meet in real life. It means that one day you may open your mailbox and find there a picture with some wishes on the backside from a stranger. Isn’t it fascinating? The only thing you have to do to participate in it is to sign up on the website, put there your address, and wait for a postcard:) To send a postcard you request an address, and the website gives you a random one of any other user. You also get an ID of a card to write down on it. When the addressee gets your card, he or she types the ID on the site, and the site marks it as delivered. This time I am sending a postcard to a 46-years-old man who lives is German countryside with his wife and a tiny dog. I wrote a short message for him in German, and have already sent it. I am so excited to find out when he will get it! I hope this post's made you at least a little bit interested in this activity and you will try to do it. It doesn't require a lot of time or money - one card, one stamp and you'll make somebody on the other side of the world a little bit more happy!

That sounds super fun! But isn’t it a bit dangerous? I mean you don’t even know them.
