    Default PostCrossing

    **Note: I'm sure I saw an advertisement forum around here somewhere - unless my eyes were playing tricks on me - but for the life of me I just cannot find it. So my apologies if this is horribly placed in the wrong forum. As a message board junkie, I understand how annoying this can be. So please, no flaming! **

    I'm not sure if any of you have ever heard of PostCrossing, but you should definately check the website out if you ever have a chance. The whole aim of the 'project' is that you send and receive postcards from all over the world. Once you sign up and fill out your profile, you request an address from the websites' database. You send a postcard out to that person and once they receive it, you're next in line to receive a postcard from anywhere in the world. You never know where you'll send it (until you request an address, of course) or where you'll receive one from - it's completely random and always a great surprise in the mail.

    Why am I posting this on Stripper Web? Well I thought:
    a) I'm sure a lot of you girls here would LOVE this. Surprisingly, the main demographic is not teenagers, it's women in their 20s and 30s.

    b) You all are such a friendly bunch and I'm sure the world would like to receive a postcard from a dancer! Not ever day they get one, I'm sure

    c) PostCrossing has a lot of people who like to travel or, due to whatever reasons, are unable to travel (i.e. lack of money). This is a great way to "see the world", of sorts, and get to know all kinds of interesting people.

    It's free, apart from postage which isn't that much (depending on where in the world you're sending to, but remember it's only a small postcard) or, if you choose, you can buy your postcards to. However, I make mine or get freebies from movie theatres/websites So I never pay anything for my postcards. I've already told a few girls from my club about it, and two of them thought it was such a cool website, they signed up the next day

    Sorry if you think this is totally irrelevant. It's not spam; I'm in no way connected with the website nor do I own it. I just think it's a really fun project you guys might like If you sign up, tell us where your first postcard is going out to!

    This is a great idea. There's a website to send random notes to Aussie citizens similar to this that I like.

    Oh yeah? I love little things like this. I think PostCrossing was inspired by BookCrossing.com. BC.com just doesn't interest me as much, plus it's more expensive to send books all around the world =/

    I sent my first postcard to Australia last week (not my first ever postcard, just the first one to that country). You have a history map in your control panel and it shows lines of where all your postcards have traveled from and to. So now I have a bit long line from England to Austrailia!

    You don't mail books on bookcrossing- you just leave them lying around! Fyi.
