Hi, i’m new to this subreddit and I’m honestly just looking for someone to exchange life with if that makes any sense lol. I’ve always wanted a pen pal but I thought it was dead since technology made it really easy for people to connect and just send texts or calls/facetime. I’m just looking for someone to connect to, whether that be me being a therapist, you being mine, or we conversing about life in general. Would be cool to meet someone from a different country!! But I’m open to people from all over. I’m pretty much an open book so you can ask whatever. I’m 28, mixed race (white/black), and live in SC, USA. I work as a truck driver. Pretty nerdy when it comes to marvel. Only anime’s i am into is Naruto and DBZ/DBS. I’m a tech guy. I am a married man and a masculine homosexual (not my whole identity but I feel like straight people would want to know). Like I said i’m new to this whole pen pal thing but I think it’d be pretty cool for me to have someone i can actually write letters to, send emails to, or just chop it up on the phone with (bonus points if you like talking on the phone, i am a truck driver after all lol). Feel free to leave a comment or DM me. Like I said, i’m pretty much an open book. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Edit: no racial, religious, or age hang ups here. Just thought I’d put that out there.

Hello hello hello. How are we all doing today? I'm Ross. Irish. And a tad devilish. I do hope the start of your week has trucked along beautifully and without any strenuous endeavours.

I'm looking for someone to chat life. To chat death. To chat everything in between. Tell me about your day. Your week. Your year. Your relationship. Your lack thereof. Your hopes. Your desires. Anything that shall cross that curious mind of yours.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for myself. Human connection. An alternative perspective. Something outside my range of scope. Surprise me. Amuse me. Indulge me. Just don't be dull and we'll have fun.

If this seems like a scattershot post, its probably cos that's how my brain works. I might be great fun. I might be a bore. I dunno. Hit me up and find out.

Hi everyone!

Entirely new here lol, but recently I'd been thinking of exchanging letters with a new friend. I'd love the opportunity to get to know someone entirely via mail and just... exchange words, lives, things you've always wanted to say, things you never could do or love to do, experiences you love or hated.

For reference, I am a person who loves to read, play video games, do crafts, garden etc. I am a child free 30yo woman and work from home with travel on occasion, so in general I am fairly isolated in certain ways.

I love to write in journals so I'd love the chance to actually write to someone. I want to share experiences and there is something so intimate about a letter! The process of sealing the envelope and getting excited when the next letter comes is something I might be romanticizing lol.

Anyway, anyone interested? 😂 I'm not sure at all how this works, so please let me know. Total newbie here!!

Edit: omg ty for all of the chats!!! I am responding to you guys 🥰

Right uhm. Let’s see what we can write here. Traditionally, penpals mailed handwritten letters to each other across cities, continents right. I would like to experience this. Handwritten letters back and forth, learn about their everyday life, and cultures, exchange stationaries maybe.
Just like most people, I enjoy reading books, learning languages (learning in general) and listening to music. And there are other things that I wanna disclose on letters.

A proper letter… that would be great. Back and forth, committed? even better. You know what… you don’t have to be. But if you do, that would make our lives bit more interesting.

Hello! I’m Ashlyn, queer and living in Michigan. I’m a chronic hobbyist, junk journaling, collaging, writing, punch needling, etc etc. I just be doing stuff. I have a zoo, 6 cats, one dog, 4 frogs, one fish, a bunch of shrimps. I looooove my pets so much. I’m a weirdo and love all things odd or cute. I have a small trinket collection and I also collect postcards :) I’m trying to get to the point where I have one letter to write a day, if you’re interested please dm me! I loveeee penpaling and hope to reach my goal this year!

Hi! I'm looking for a penpal interested in talking via snail mail and/or email. I like the idea of having a slower, more thoughtful form of communication.

I'm from Oregon and enjoy nature, gardening, horticulture, reading, writing, and traveling. I love books, especially literature, memoirs, and anything introspective or thought-provoking. I'm also interested in philosophy, history, business, and investing.

I'd love to exchange letters about what we're reading, what's happening in our lives, places we'd like to visit, personal projects, strange observations, or whatever else happens to be on our minds.

I'm open to writing with people from anywhere. If you're looking for thoughtful, genuine correspondence and think we'd have things to talk about, feel free to send me a message!

Hii, I’m a 22yo girl from Italy and I would like to get into this because it seems amazing and I have always wanted to have a penpal when I was little, so here I am now.

I would prefer someone from Europe because of the cost of stamps honestly, and also because it may take less time to get the letters (I hope!), but if the vibe is there I’d also like to have a penpal outside Europe :)

I’d like someone my same age or around my age at least, with whom I can talk about silly things and occasionally about more deep topics. right now, for example, I’d like to talk about autumn and share our autumn watchlists, tbr lists and bucket lists!

I’m actually very happy to start this but since I have a lot of things to do I’m still considering it.

thank you so much if you’ll reach out to me!! :)

Hello!

I’m looking for a pen pal out of the country or in the USA as well! I had a pen pal when I was a child and it was such a fun experience hearing what the other side of the world was like. I’m really looking for someone who wants to talk about life, send pictures via mail, drawings, and things that you’re into!

A little about me:

I’ve always been a lover of poems, art, and music. I’m huge into Hardcore and heavy metal music. I collect magazines and make collages with them! I work in homeless services and experience a lot of craziness, but I absolutely love my job. I’m sober and have been for the past 8 months, an absolute game changer. I have a dog who I love a lot and a motorcycle I’m fixing up and learning to love! Lol.

Please no scams or anyone looking for money lmao, I’m broke too and not interested in seeing a picture of your winky.

Xoxo

Please message me for details!

I have been looking for other people to connect with. I am not good at making friends in person i struggle a lot with it. In my free time I enjoy writing music (yes like with the staff and the notes) for band and orchestra and drum line. I enjoy studying and listening to film scores and film music. I like to play video games like minecraft the sims 4 and GTA V. I would love to get to know some people who have similar interests as I do and also meet people with different interests too! I work in the medical field and enjoy what I do! If anyone wants to email just let me know!

Hii!! 26/f here looking for a pen pal ✉️ i recently got a PO box specifically for this, so i figured i might as well put it to use. i’m into baking, spooky things, books, plants, movies, and generally collecting little things that make life more fun. i’d love to meet someone i genuinely click with and build a long-term friendship where we can talk about basically anything, random daily life updates, deep conversations, dumb little stories, whatever.
i’ve also seen people on here doing more of a diary-style letter exchange, sending little trinkets, stickers, photos, etc., or even passing a journal/junk journal back and forth, and honestly i think that sounds really fun. i’d be totally down for something like that too. no pressure for perfectly written letters or anything super formal, just looking for something fun and genuine that we can both look forward to. :)
if any of this sounds like your vibe, feel free to message me! tell me a little about yourself and what you’re into so we can see if we’d get along

Hello! i've recently wanted to get back into having a pen pal and writing letters! (please I have like 100s of envelopes) I previously had a pen pal that moved and we just both kinda got busy with life, but im making an effort to get back into my hobbies and enjoy my freetime. Some things about me is I'm 20/F a married lesbian, no pets currently (will be getting kittens in a few months and i'm so excited), still figuring out my career but have been in childcare for the last year, i also have lots of hobbies which include crochet, junk journaling, jewelry making, baking, painting, etc haha. I would love to have multiple long term penpals (USA) that would hopefully be consistent :) I will likely send letters, stickers, and various other things. Any gender is welcome but prefer 20-26 yr age range!

Hello world! I'm looking for a pen pal who is interested in snail mail and/or email! I need an excuse to buy nice stationery for my office and to make sure I still practice some penmanship! If you don't want to try and decipher my history teacher-esqe handwriting, I'm happy to email as well!

I am a 29-year-old man living in California, where I majored in history, hold a graduate degree in education, and I am currently working in school administration. I'm married with no kids as of yet, and I'm just hoping to build connections with more people out in the world.

I enjoy reading, getting outdoors for hikes, film and TV, and I love learning about new things as well as learning about others' cultures and lives. You'll find me reading a lot more than I used to. I try to shuffle between literary fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, history, political theory, and theology. Once upon a time, when I had more time, I was also into video games. I would enjoy discussing these things and the comings and goings of life. I've always been terrible at small talk, but I'm the person who will sit down and talk for hours about the mysteries of life after a few beers. I'm also in the middle of a "getting myself together phase", and so I'm working on being more social, exercising, improving my mental health, and working on my physical health.

I honestly cannot say you need to share any interest or meet any sort of criteria. I love learning about people of any and all persuasions. If you're interested in connecting, let me know!

Hi everyone!

I’d love to find a new pen pal as I’ve lost touch with several of the ones I used to have.

I’m 18 and I’m in France. I’ve just started a new work-study course. It’s a course in milling and it’s based not far from La Rochelle, but the company I found and which has taken me on is a small mill located not far from the town of Lorient. So I’ll have two addresses for the duration of my two-year studies.

My dream is to move to New Zealand one day. So if any New Zealanders happen to come across my post, I’d love to be your pen pal!

Otherwise, I really enjoy reading all sorts of things, and I love listening to music.

I also spend my time watching films and TV series.

I’d prefer someone around my age, but I’m open to corresponding with anyone.

Hi everyone! This is my first time here, and I’m really curious about trying out corresponding with a pen pal! I’m currently at a turning point in my life - I just graduated from university, and a lot is uncertain for me at the moment. I’d love to have someone with whom I can share my thoughts, and discover the world of somebody new! I enjoy spending time with my friends, although with many of them graduating and many coming from far away, it is sometimes difficult to keep regular contact.
I also would like to practice the art of writing in a longer format - going into more depth about my thoughts, plans, and what is going on in my life.

A bit about me: I enjoy hiking, cooking, piano, and I just recently got into bouldering. I also recently got introduced to crochet, and although I am still an absolute beginner, it’s something that I find interesting and would like to get to know better. Also, if you’re a movie nerd, I’m open to recommendations ^^

If you’d be interested in being my pen pal, send me a DM!

hello :)

strange person seeking another strange person, hopefully someone who also feels a bit too much and pretends to be normal in public

i’m 26, living in Italy, and recently came out of a long study/work/thesis cave. still recovering, still remembering that life is not only deadlines, exams, responsibilities and trying to sleep at a reasonable hour

for a long time my life was very focused on getting things done. useful, yes. healthy? debatable. somewhere along the way i lost a bit of the softer side of life. hobbies got quiet, social life became weird, and everything was always after this exam or after this deadline

and now the 'after' is here, i guess

i’d like to find a penpal for slow messages, honest thoughts, random little updates, and the kind of conversation that does not die after how was your day?

i’m not the most loud or socially magical person. i’m more calm at first, maybe a little shy, but not cold. i just take time to open up. once i feel comfortable, i can be playful, curious, and probably a little annoying in the “tell me tiny details about your day, i am invested now” way

i like music, books, philosophy, languages, writing, games, sports, art, coffee, walks, cooking, random late-night thoughts, and people who still notice pretty skies like it means something

i like people who can talk about normal life but also make it feel less flat. tell me about your city, your favourite song this week, the book you abandoned halfway, the weird thought you had while making coffee, the small thing that made your day better

i don’t need you to be perfect. actually please don’t be. perfect people make me suspicious

i like soft weird people. kind but not boring, silly but capable of deeper conversations, maybe a little dramatic about beauty, maybe someone who also saves nice sentences in their notes app and then forgets why

i’m open to starting with reddit messages or email. i like the idea of writing properly, not just sending dry one-line replies. but if we get comfortable, i’d also like voice calls someday. and if life allows it, maybe even meeting in person one day.

someone from europe is nice because time zones are easier, but anywhere is fine if the conversation feels natural

if you message me, tell me your age, where you’re from, and one small ordinary thing you find strangely beautiful

30M from usa here, figured I’d give this another shot and see who’s out there. Haven’t had much luck on here really. They stay for a day or two then vanish.

I’ve got my life pretty together (steady job, gym 5x a week, can cook a decent meal when I feel like it), but realized making new friends as an adult is way harder than it should be. So here I am.

I’m big into gaming , anything from competitive stuff to just zoning out after a long day. (Been on a DBD and Fortnite kick lately) Outside of that, I’m usually at the gym, out hiking when the weather’s decent, or planning my next trip (even if it’s just a long weekend somewhere random).
Huge horror movie fan so if it’s creepy, twisted, or makes you question your life choices, I’m probably into it. Also a fan of dark humor, so bonus points if you can laugh at things we probably shouldn’t.
Pretty laid back, easy to talk to, and I learn more by doing than just talking about it. Just looking for good people to chat with, maybe game with, or even meet up if you’re local.

And also I have a trust issue thing when it comes to this dang app. To many catfishes or fakes so bear with me !

If any of that sounds like your vibe, feel free to reach out . Maybe tell me your top 5 horror movies or video games. Or even some things we have in common

I’m 24 my name is Aubs I have one black cat named hex who is about 10 years old and a leopard gecko about the same age. I work as a special needs nanny to two young boys one who is developmentally normal and one who is delayed. They are brothers and the youngest one who is delayed is adopted. I’ve been dating the same guy for almost 3 years now. He has two little girls who I admire and adore. If you like tea I have lots I could tell you. My break up with my ex was messy and so was his plus me and his ex used to be friends. Done worry everything was kosher no funny busies was between us. Timing just happened to work out.

Gotta admit, sometimes I run into people on here that have their own goals and ambitions. You guys seem to have hobbies, or just topics you like to read about. I'd love to hear from you about them. It adds a lot to the conversation to listen to you discussing what's always on your mind. Feel free to share!

As, for my interests: I enjoy exercising, hanging out with friends, playing some games casually, watching movies and serieses. In the past, I've learned quite a bit from "A Smarter Way to Learn Python" which is really really interesting! I also enjoy learning math, from Khan Academy. My primary goal is to be good enough at math & programming that I can create interesting simulations.

I'm really looking for people who are interested in programming, math, learning in general, and love discussing deeper topics!

While I'm not in school, I do thoroughly enjoy learning, specifically anything STEM related. I do enjoy working with math. I read a book by the name "A Mind for Numbers" which basically taught me how to learn such subjects. One of the best books I've ever read!

If you've read this far in, I really appreciate it! If you're interested in talking, feel free to send me a DM! Looking forwards to hearing back from you! 23+ only please

If you have an NSFW profile, I'm blocking you.
