Heya xx I’m a Canadian gal living in England and would love a pen pal overseas! Would be fun to write letters about what’s going on in our lives, and maybe send cute lil knick knacks💓

I love crosswords, chess, rubbish reality TV, grandpa music, foreign horror flicks, cats (I have 2 cuties), books (mainly Stephen king), and mental health walks hahah

I love writing letters and haven’t done it in a while so I’m super keen to get back into it.

Looking for women only, and above the age of 25! Message me if interested <3

Hi all!

I'm a 27F living in the non-continental USA (think US territories... I'll tell you directly later). I'm looking for a "potential" pen-pal who would be down to do a combination of snail mail, email, and/or text/voice messaging! Whatever works for you, just let me know.

What I'm looking for:

• Someone who likes existential or weird, thought-provoking questions (instead of talking about our days, let's talk about how we feel amidst the state of the world, our most fascinating conspiracy theories, our life's dreams, our grief, and so on).

• Someone who is non-judgmental or not "phobic", or at least open to different ideas and ways of being (this does NOT include things that violate human rights lol)

• Someone who doesn't mind if I forget to reply for a little while. I will DEFINITELY forget to respond from time to time!

• Someone who is positive/enthusiastic about life. That doesn't mean you can't have moments or seasons of sadness or even depression (like me). It just means that, if you're a negative nancy or someone with a lot of bitterness/resentment in their heart, we won't be a good match.

• Someone around my age or older. No limit to the age if you're older!

Details about me:

• I love thinking. Any existential questions or ideas, goofy or weird concepts, I find to be so much fun! Something akin to a mental puzzle.

• I love reading, anything from Philosophy to YA novels.

• I love photography, baking, and gardening. I enjoy landscaping and know a lot about plants. Depending on where you live I can send you seeds from my region (tropical weather).

• I love music and play brass instruments.

• I have two dogs, a cat, and a wonderful spouse.

• I play a lot of Fortnite and Overwatch 2, and will play online games with you if they're free or affordable.

• Currently changing career paths.

• Bilingual (Fluent in Eng/Span, can understand and read Portuguese, can read French).

• I am neurodivergent (AuDHD).

• I burst communicate; Some days we'll communicate a bunch, then you may not hear from me for a week, and then the cycle begins again.

• I am open to all differences and beliefs, as long as they do not harm others (you're religious and don't proselytize others? Cool! You're queer? Amazing! You have dietary restrictions? Fascinating. You think certain kinds of people shouldn't exist/should be displaced from their homes? KICK ROCKS!!).

Take care!

Hello!

Im a 29 year old female and im originally from Amsterdam, but i live in Portugal at the moment. Im an introvert who loves to be at home. I love animals, reading, yoga, playing cozy games, trinkets and journaling.

Im looking for someone who wants to exchange snail mail with me! Cute letters, stickers, drawings, cute little gifts! 🌸

I love music and making playlist and everything Japan! I went there last year and cant wait to go back. Would be nice to discuss books or movies/tv shows with people.

If you’re interested in writing letters and sending cute little personal gifts to each other send me a message❤️

Hello men and women of our United States Military, my name is Alyssa and I come from a huge military family. I understand how lonely it can get my brothers while not wanting to admit it (but as a psych student I can see right through their charade). I am mainly looking for someone to have deep conversations with, someone who I can share music with and who will share music with me, someone I can share how I’m genuinely feeling with and someone who will do the same. Ultimately, I didn’t join the military because college suits me better but I do know how rough it gets for you guys and I want to aid in some way. Who knows, maybe beautiful friendships can come of this. I’m open to DMs only right now and if things seem to be lining out we can switch to snail mail or something a bit more old school.

Greetings all! I'm from Australia and would love to make some new friends/penpals, especially those where we can build a connection in the long term. I'm a supportive person, so if you've been through any struggles or am going through something (I've been going through hard times myself), I'm all ears, but I'm just as happy keeping things light too. I can be a little shy at first but that goes away pretty fast when I get to know someone. I care deeply about nature, football/soccer has been my favourite sport since childhood, I've been trying to work on my cooking and getting into baking (am always looking for different new recipes--anything that you'd recommend or especially like to make?), and I'm into everything from The Simpsons to Stranger Things to Only Murders In The Building. My other interests can be pretty diverse, everything from Disney to pro wrestling. I'm legally blind, which has been very challenging, but at least means I have a lovely and photogenic guide dog, so I'm always up for swapping pet pics too.

Happy talking to anyone, regardless of where you are. Would like to exchange long messages or emails talking about everything in our lives, from the most mundane things to more serious matters.

Look forward to hearing from you all. Hopefully it's not unpossible to make new friends.

Hello!!! My name is Atticus I'm looking for a penpal from anywhere who is 20 years or above. I'm mostly trying to be more social so I decied whats a better way than sending semi anyomous letters to semi anyomous people! I love to draw, do crafts, write and listen to music!! I'm currently in college for communications because my dream job is to be a journalist. If I had to describe the place I live I would say cold but the people here make it warm. I'm interested in doing snail mail! Please let me know if you're interested!!!

Hey there! I’m Chris, a friendly soul here to lend an ear and connect over anything and everything. I work supporting the education system from home and, in my downtime, I’m all about movies, video games, and hanging out with my four cats and three dogs (they’re basically a full-time job too!). I’m a big LGBTQ+ supporter, so if you’re looking for a safe, judgment-free zone, you’ve found it.

And hey, here’s a joke to kick things off: Why did the scarecrow become a penpal? Because he was outstanding in his field! If you’re ready for some laughs, chats, and random musings, let’s be penpals!

Forgot to add that I’m from Texas

Hey people, I'm looking for someone nice for a chat. I'm pretty bored. We can chat about anything really, I'm pretty easy to go, just show some effort as well😔 I love gaming, good movies /shows, books, music, also if you're interested in history, I'm here🙋🏻‍♂️ Also I love 40k👀 We can practically chat about anything, send memes, selfies, don't mind voice messages🤷🏻‍♂️👀

If you decide to Dm me and ghost me after, at least let me know 👀

I prefer long-term chats, quick ones are getting boring. Also if you're gamer, definitely hit me up, I'm on Playstation, but we can manage some crossplay as well, always looking for a new game buddies, just mind I'm EU time zone, so yeah.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

PS : try to start with something original or creative, would be appreciated 🤭.. But I'll answer anyway

I’m looking for someone to write to and and talk to via mail from anywhere in the world weather it be Canada, Ethiopia, Laos, Germany, wherever! I love art and would send little doodles or pictures and I love to learn about different cultures, history, and religions. I love to talk about leftism and it would be cool if I had someone to talk to about it but if your not one for politics that’s completely ok and I won’t mention a thing about it if you don’t want me to. In terms of sports I love soccer (Hannover 96 and Celtic f.c.) and base ball (Mets and mudhens) I can go over more of my interests and info about me if needed.

Hi, my name is Tea and I am living in Switzerland. I love being at home, it is my cozy place that makes me feel good. I am a dog-person, I love my little white furry doggo 🐶I like my plants and I enjoy listening to music a lot. Now we come to the main topic: Stationary stuff is giving me so much joy. I am a stickers/washi tapes/ stationary stuff collector. Oh I love that stuff!! love journaling, pens and everything around this. Collecting Gachapon is something else that I really enjoy doing in Japan. Exactly, my love for Japan is also part of it. For years now.

I would love to find someone who can share my joy in those things. It’s difficult to find someone around here, especially when you’re not the going out type of a person. Someone around my age I’d say. Writing snail mails would be fun and exchange whatever we like and our heart beats for.

Hobbies: My Dog, Japan, stationary, journaling, listening to music, fotography/videography, watching K-Dramas, drawing, reading 📚, gaming mostly cozy games (PC/Switch)

3 words to describe myself: generous, kind, enthusiastic

Things I like: 🍋🐶🪴🌸🌑✨☀️🍉🍕 🍙🍜🍷🏖️🛩️🎮📸🎥🧿🚿⛩️🎐🗺️💤

Things I dislike: 🦟🕷️🥾🌬️🌫️🦪🎢🏕️⛰️

Hit me up if you have similar interests. Looking forward to find a stationary/snail mail friend!

Bye! またね！

Hello, my name is Erik and as a certain little character from a famous French children's book, I need a friend. The book is the Little Prince, in case you can't notice the reference.

I have always been an introverted person with problems when it comes to making friends, which is a problem because like any other relatively stable human I feel the need to feel close to another person, to add something meaningful to their life over time and thus create a bond that we can both recognize as a friendship.

So that's what I'm looking for here, someone I can eventually forge a friendship as lasting as, I don't know, a gypsy curse; ok, it's not the best example, I've always sucked at giving examples.

If I have to describe myself I would have to say that I’m a person who gets excited easily. I like to start new projects and it doesn't matter if they will crash against that relentless obstacle called procrastination, I really enjoy planning new things. And I think it would be a lot of fun if I manage to make a friend to share those projects with.

I’m also a curious person who loves to learn new things every day, no matter if it is something to do with raising sheep in the mountains of Kazakhstan, something about some language spoken only by a tribe lost in the amazones, any kind of knowledge is always welcome.

As for my tastes and hobbies, I love reading and writing. Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite book and being a published author is my biggest dream. I also enjoy watching anime and reading manga (I'm a big fan of One Piece!), gardening (I have a small vegetable garden that I enjoy watching grow day after day) and making handicrafts with polymer clay.

My literary idols are Gabriel García Marques, José Saramago, Albert Camus, John Steinbeck, Diana Wynne Jones, Michael Ende and Ursula K. Le Guin.

My favorite films are Midnight in Paris, The Apartment, Amelie, The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, Ed Wood, Howl's Moving Castle (I love Ghibli movies), Chungking Express, Let The Right One in, Mad Max: Fury Road and Before Sunrise.

My favorite musicians are Nina Simone, Frank Sinata, Nat King Cole, Nick Cave, No Doubt, Foo Fighters, MF DOOM, The Velvet Underground, The Cranberries, Yo La Tengo, The Offspring and The Pillows.

I don't watch many TV series but I love The Wire, Band of Brothers, Rome, Dead Like Me, The Office and Arrested Development.

Well, if you feel we could get along and become friends feel free to send me a message telling me a little about yourself. Who knows maybe someday together we might decide to do things like steal a boat, go to sea and live more freely than anyone else. Well, we can do more realistic things like watch the same movie, which is fun anyway.

PS: English is not my mother tongue. I'm not used to communicating in that language so I constantly make mistakes, but I hope that's not a bother to anyone.

If you are okay with the following, we can surely give it a go :

1. Its okay that we only stay in touch by Reddit direct message.

2. Its okay that we do not share any photo (as I honestly just looking for a penpal, someone I could write to).

3. Its okay that my English is strange and accept me writing lengthy messages when we get to know each other.

4. Its okay that I am an introvert, I am not good at finding what to talk about if you dont start a conversation or write back.

5. Its okay that we have time difference, it is long distance, probably never will see each other.

I have been trying on and off with penpal but none works as what I look for appear very different and not common to the society that I am silly to give it a try again as I dont know maybe because it almost end of a year, I dont wanna be alone which in fact I am always alone. What do you think ? Could we get to know each other, maybe ?

Thank you for reading.

Hello there, kind stranger! 🌸

I’m a 23-year-old dreamer, drifting through pages and places, in search of souls who dance to the rhythm of a distant land—India. A country painted in colors I’ve yet to see, where ancient rivers whisper secrets to the stars, and every street hums with stories untold. 🌌

A bit about me? I’m a lover of late-night musings, chai beneath starlit skies, and words that carry the weight of worlds. I’m on a journey to find friends whose hearts beat to the poetry of the everyday, who treasure moments of silence as much as laughter, and who feel the pull of lands near and far.

If you’re a wanderer at heart, someone who finds magic in monsoons, mystery in mythology, or simply shares my longing to connect beyond screens—let’s exchange tales, ideas, and maybe even a few dreams. Write to me, won’t you? Let’s weave a little magic between our worlds.

With warmth and wonder, Your new friend, maybe?

Hi all! Nice to meet you! As the title mentioned I am 24f & looking to make connections/create new friendships. I live in the US and I’m not currently looking for international snail mail, but we can still email (I’m also open to reddit dm)! & I’m currently only open to fellow females.

A little bit about me:

• I would love to travel the world someday!

• I’ve been to Disney World 4 times (so if you love Disney too dm me haha)

• I’m definitely a bit socially anxious, but I’m working on that!

• My hobbies include gardening, listening to music, occasional reading (I’d love to read more than I actually do), baking (mostly just on holidays haha) & writing letters!

• I’m a huge animal lover! I have multiple pets (cats & dogs) & would ideally have a big yard someday where I can have chickens, ducks, goats, etc. (that’s my big dream!)

Tell me a fun fact about you!

Good day! I'm from the USA and now that I have seemed to have found a few penpals for me, my daughter is super interested too. She is such an extrovert and is very compassionate, thoughtful of others. She loves reading and does great in spelling - not so much math.

So my kid (9) is looking for a penpal that is 8 to 11 years old, but girls only. I will be reading all of the letters for safety sake but she will be replying and writing everything, occasionally sending some art, stickers, stationery, etc. Maybe even photos of our craft room or fun places she goes.

Some things about her: she loves art! painting, drawing, etc., music, reading, pretend cooking, favorite color sky blue, favorite animal - cat/kitten, favorite sports - gymnastics and soccer, and stationery.

There's a trembling in my hand
when you come near, I feel it land…

the shadow,
the weight,
in the room we stand

I catch my breath, it slips away
There’s too much here I’d never say,
Thoughts spilling out in a quiet fray

And I feel so close to you.
As if the walls could lean, slip through
This silent pull I’ve fallen to.

A whisper deep, a shiver bare;
A fevered sense, a scattered stare.
Holding back what hangs in air.

If I spoke, would it remain?
A dizzy hush, a soft refrain.
You linger here, then slip again.

And I feel so close to you
as if the world were split in two.
Just us, in this unspoken view.

I’m Eetu and I live in Finland close to where I grew up. I’m doing my master’s degree in languages at uni whilst working full time in administration. I am also active in a few associations. I’m looking for long-term buddies to exchange emails with. I am open to traditional mail as well, but I’d like to exchange some electronic correspondence first.

I’m a calm person usually but I easily get excited about new things. I lead a busy life at the moment but there’s always room for the people in my life. Lately, I’ve been trying to learn more about theatre and film, so I’ve been trying to see more plays and go to the cinema.

Hobbies: reading, clarinet, knitting, languages Interests: politics, linguistics, all forms of art

I speak Finnish, English, Swedish and German and I’m learning French so I wouldn’t mind using any of those languages either.

Bonjour . J'ai 19 ans et je viens de Suède. Je cherche une correspondante, une fille, avec qui échanger des lettres pour pratiquer le français tout en créant des amitiés !

J'adore prendre de longues promenades, écouter des podcasts, tricoter, et lire des livres. Je suis aussi passionnée par l’art et j’aime découvrir de nouvelles oeuvres et artistes. Actuellement, j'étudie le français et je cherche une correspondante pour rendre l'apprentissage plus amusant et motivant !

Si tu partages des intérêts similaires ou si tu es simplement curieuse d'échanger des lettres et de découvrir d'autres cultures, n'hésite pas à me contacter !

Merci!😊🇸🇪🇫🇷✉️

Enthusiastic snail mail letter writer looking for penpals. I have a wide range of interests—my focus at this stage of my life is the life of the mind: Philosophy, psychology, spirituality. I am especially interested in Catholic studies but I am well-informed about most of the major religious traditions.

A few of my Interests/Hobbies Watercolor painting—I have no actual skills per se but I don’t think that is important. I enjoy playing around with beautiful colors and I enjoy sending postcard-size paintings to my penpals.

Fountain pens and ink—yep, I got hooked and hooked hard. Current favorites are my Sailor Pro Gears. My favorite custom-made pen is by a New York artist (pen18111.com).

Classic fiction. I recently re-read The Odyssey and simultaneously listened to the new translation by Emily Wilson. The audiobook is read by Clare Danes and she brings the text to life in a way that is just amazing.

A little more about me: I have lived on both coasts of the US, including Silicon Valley. I also spent about ten years overseas. I am from a military family. I value justice, integrity, wisdom, gratitude, and compassion.

Hey there! I'm a 29-year-old female from India, and I'm looking for a fun, artsy penpal, preferably female, who'd love to swap cute items, send little gifts, and create a meaningful connection through snail mail. ✨

I’m really into junk journaling, so if you enjoy collaging, stickers, handmade envelopes, or just putting together pretty things, we'd probably get along well! I love creating and sharing sentimental, artsy gifts, so if you'd like to receive a little piece of India with each letter, feel free to message me. 🥰

Looking forward to finding a like-minded penpal who wants to share creativity and thoughtful surprises!

Hey guys! I’m Sian and I am 38 from England. I have been penpalling for about 28 years now and love sending and receiving snail mail!

I am currently looking to add a couple more UK penpals as I’ve had a few drop off recently.

I don’t like to say too much as I like to get to know people via mail but I’m a married mum of 1 grown up daughter. I have an eclectic taste in music, listening to anything from Pearl Jam to One Direction, Harry Styles to Beethoven! I enjoy reading a lot, particularly psychological thrillers and horrors. And I love watching/listening to anything true crime related.

If you’re interested please get in touch! I’m happy to write first if needs be ♥️

My name is Nick and I live in Ipswich, England. I moved here during the COVID pandemic. It's 140 miles away from where I used to live in the West Midlands, but I am in fact an East Midlander by birth and upbringing, so I've been around the block a bit!

Anyway, I don't wanna ramble on for too long - I'll try to keep this concise.

Hobbies: Reading, writing, football, music production, photography

Other Interests: Architecture, sociology, mental health, British subcultures and social history

Dislikes: Grapefruit, shopping (unless it's online)

Personality: Varies depending on tiredness level, but I'm a very laid-back guy. Big fan of sarcasm and irony. Also generally pretty affectionate towards those I care about and develop a bond with. If you don't like pet names, you're probably gonna have to just get over it ;) I come from a place where we call both men and women 'duck' at the end of a greeting, and men of all ages can be called 'youth'. It's part of who I am.

What am I looking for? Well, someone who isn't going to ghost is a great starting point, because I've honestly lost count of how many times I've been ghosted over the past year, even by those I thought I got on really well with. Even for a 32 year old guy, it's a little upsetting building a bond and then someone disappearing on you. Apart from that though, if you're a nice person and you're happy to make an effort to get to know each other, talk regularly and not just give me direct replies but engage in proper conversation, hit me up! Generally speaking, I do get on better with women but I am open to guy friends as well! Your age doesn't matter so long as you're 23 or older!

If I don't reply immediately, don't panic or think I'm not interested, sometimes I just have other stuff to do, but I'm on Reddit regularly :)

Hey! I'm Sonya, and I'm 23 years old. I recently moved to Canada, and even though I have an aunt here, I would love to have a friend to share my thoughts and emotions with—someone who can understand my ups and downs. I work as a bartender and am currently studying in college, aiming to become a psychologist. With all these activities, I often feel lonely and find myself lacking meaningful communication.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, playing sports, and diving into console games. I also love cooking, reading, and watching movies. If you’d like to get to know me better and share some experiences together, feel free to reach out! I’m looking forward to connecting with someone who shares similar interests.

Hey all, this is my first time posting here. I work as an officer in the merchant marines, so I spend about half of my year living aboard big ships full of either cargo or fuel traveling all over the world.

This job has taken me to over 30 countries on nearly every continent. I'm currently onboard a ship cruising around the South Pacific and I'd love to have someone to connect with.

Outside of work I love rock climbing, riding and wrenching on my motorcycle, long road trips, camping, and any excuse to get outside and spend time in nature.

Hello there!

I’m excited to meet some amazing people here! I’m new to penpaling but thought it would be a fantastic way to practice languages and learn about different cultures worldwide. I’m 19 and from Hungary. My interests are pretty varied, but literature is my biggest passion—I love reading and writing, but reading definitely takes the lead. I’m also into video games and enjoy playing volleyball. I also love spending time in nature, whether I’m cycling, hiking, or just enjoying the outdoors. Recently, I’ve started exploring arts and crafts, especially embroidery. It’s just for fun, and I’m still learning, but I enjoy it.

I’d say I’m pretty talkative, open-minded, and understanding. I speak fluent English and am at an intermediate level in French. My goal with penpaling is to make genuine, long-term friendships, so as long as you’re respectful and kind, I’d love to connect! Your age, gender, skin colour, sexual orientation, or religion don’t matter to me. Above all, I’m just interested in hearing about your experiences and perspectives.

Ideally, I’d love to meet a French speaker to help me improve, but I’m open to anyone who’s interested in a meaningful exchange. Since I’m just starting, I’d prefer email first, and later on, we can swap postcards or letters if we’re both comfortable with it.

If you think we’d be a good match as penpals, please DM me!

Hey there! Thanks for checking out my post. I'm looking to find someone to make friends with. I love to learn new things, see different prospective of the world, and ways of thinking. I love cats and currently have 3, did have 4 (so maybe I'm a bit of a crazy cat guy?) enjoy anime from time to time, play on my PS5(I love the Soulsborne games), go for walks and runs around my neighborhood and hopefully see some animals, and go for drives. I also love to travel to different countries and wish I could do it more. Anyway, if you wanna talk with me hit me up here and we can exchange emails! Thanks for taking time out of your day to read this!

About life

I'm looking for penpals friends to chat with interesting ideas about life and just about everyday life and overcoming daily challenges and enjoying life. I don't believe in anything but reincarnation and enjoying life. I don't believe in marriage and I don't know if there are soulmates connection mind body and soul. I don't believe in God or the Christian Bible but a metaphysical story of mind body and soul holistic connection and approach to life written as a fairytale. Love to talk to any professor's so I don't get bored or someone about my age. I don't believe in God but energy in Physics and astronomy and metaphysical and science. I'm Saronna 53F from Sydney Australia. I believe Jesus is a master and that we can be master's and there is evil and good in this world and Jesus is leader of light.

As the title reads, I'm 28 years old--a few months shy of 29--and from the United States of America. I'm a recent college graduate (Master of Arts in English) and have experienced a lot of firsts in my life recently (from buying my first home to becoming an uncle). As I look to close the book on my 20s, I hope to meet a long-term friend, someone to share what life has in store for me as I start this new chapter.

I've been fortunate enough to have met and to have written to a few pen pals. Life has a funny way of happening, though, and I lost contact with them. I miss having someone to write to and to tell about my day. I crave the excitement of learning about someone new and eventually calling that stranger my friend.

I don't ask for much in a pen pal. In fact, I think expectations can kill the natural spontaneity of learning about each other through letters. I also don't expect you to share the same beliefs or interests as me. All I ask for is a mutual respect between us.

If you're interested in potentially writing to each other, please send me a PM or chat request.

Here's to friends and friendships that last a lifetime.

Hello, I’m looking to use my phone for more than just TikTok or Spotify lol. I thought it’d be interesting to get into some convos with some like minded or same interest kind of people. I’m super passionate about music, movies, games and I like to hike play basketball. I’m a very open book and I keep an open mind, and if you’re lgbtqia+ even better bc so am I. I have a handful of friends but I thought it’d be fun to get into conversations with some new people and I’ve never had a penpal so it sounds like a good idea. Some more about me, I grew up in Oklahoma, never really leaned into much, besides gangs and drugs until I was about 18 and started to figure who I was, since then I’ve changed a lot, I stopped running from my queer feelings, moved from my moms place and little by little I grew up. And now I’m getting therapy and medication and I’m trying hard to do better for myself. Can’t wait to hear about whoever pm’s me!

Good morning everyone, I am currently working in the Middle East area away from home for some time, me and my pals in the office are looking to send and receive postcards and packages with people from around the world! It’s great for morale when we receive mail here and we are all very happy to send postcards and packages back and to make new friends! I hope people find this interesting and we all look forward to engaging with new friends around the world and having a chat! Thank you ! We have plenty of paper and postcards ready to go!
