The Post Card Exchange discussion

I am no longer on the major social media platforms,( Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter etc...) and have used this year to read more books and have more intentional interactions with others. It would be great to have a pen pal to send and receive letters. Also, if there is anyone who lives outside of the U.S., and would be interested in exchanging international newspapers, please message me!

-I am 31 years old

-I am majoring in Journalism

-Lover of hiking and camping

-Lover of history, politics, and fantasy

-Modern board games are a huge part of my life

-I'm a nerd

If interested please message me :)

My P.O. Box is:

My husband was born in Austin and still has some family living there. Hope you find some penpals to fill your mailbox!

Thanx Karen! Send me a message if you ever decide to penpal :)

Did you get any penpals?

Unfortunately no :(

Hi Ruby!

I would love to correspond with you!
I live in MA and had many pen pals when I was younger and still do have some “life long” friends. Some are international and some close enough for me to visit! It was such a big part of my life that I miss. I was actually contacted recently by a pal with whom I haven’t “heard” in years!!! I am a bit older than you but I’m sure you’ll find my “wisdom” entertaining!

Shall I reach you at the above listed address?

Kelly

Hi,

I am living in Busan and if you'd like to correspond with someone in Asia, I would be happy to be pen pals with you;)

I am in my thirties, too, and will be going for a surgery that will leave me bedridden for up to three months; I could spend more time reading and writing letters.

So you have (a) topic(s) that you want to write about? Or are you looking for writing about daily life? I don't mind either. I am from a fine art background. I like history, too, especially art history. Have you read E.H. Gombrich's History of Art?

If you agree to exchange letters, let me know!

So Mi

See there? I stirred up some folks! LOL

I would love to write to you! I’m up for writing about anything. I’m looking forward to getting to know each other. Please message me your address.

Thank you Karen!!!!!!

Ruby, I’m sending you a postcard this week. When things settle I will craft an appropriate letter! :) Kelly

Can’t wait to read it Kelly!

I would be happy to write to you -- feeling much the same way about social media and the internet in general lately. I will send a letter to introduce myself very soon!
