(Actually, I've been living abroad since 1989, in England, Germany & India.) We live in the north of Germany (close to Hamburg), but have spent 8 months in London/Engla?nd in 2005, because of my husband's work. My husband is German & we've been married for almost 7 years.
No short intros and again only female snail mail friends, thanks. Still I expect to hear from you more than once a year.
I don't mind how often you write, for me the qualiy of the letter and friendship is more important than the quantity of letters. Pals who write medium/long letters, typed or hand written are the same for me. Requests when it comes to pen pals: I am looking for a few female long letter pals who are into personal, individual letters where you have a conversation going on. When it comes to me as a person I am intelligent, open-minded, I have a good sense of humour, I am tolerant, honest, loyal to my friends. I consider my pen pals as true friends with whom I talk about lots of different things and share life's ups and down. I have a busy life so I can't promise to write back immediately, but I always try to write back as soon as possible. I am into long dialogue letters where friends comment on each others' letters, ask and answer questions. I have been into pen palling for more than 20 years. I have lots of interests but my hugest passions are reading (I am a huge bookworm) and letter writing.
I work as a teacher and really like my job. I am Lene from Denmark, I am 40 years old, married and have a daughter. There will be plenty of occasions where you will send a letter to someone and never get a response, or it will take, what feels like, ages for them to get back to you.Hobbies/Interests: Music, travelling, gardening, cooking, animals, nature, movies, art, architecture, design, fashion, history, psychology, cultures, traditions, books, fitness, being with friends and family, exchanging long letters via snail mail with good friends. I think the most important advice I can give to anyone looking for new mail friends is, don’t get discouraged! Try not to expect a reply from every letter your send out. There are so many blogs that offer mail swaps, little organizations specifically for people who write letters, and plenty of people on Instagram, Twitter, or Tumblr that are interested in finding new pen pals. Of course, there are so many places on the internet to find like-minded folks. This is a great website to get your toes wet in the snail mail world. I’ve heard tales of people finding great pen pals through Postcrossing but, in the 6 years that I’ve been using it, I’ve only found 1 person that I exchanged mail with on a semi-regular basis. → Although I really wouldn’t suggest this website for finding pen pals, it is a great resource for sending, and receiving, postcards. The majority of my pen pals have started through Sendsomething. I love searching for people’s interests to better find a way to make their day through the mail! Plus, they have a “random address” button that takes the thought out of who you should mail to. Sendsomething has a great search feature, which I use whenever I have something random to mail out (like, a postcard for the band Aqua). → This website is my go-to for finding strangers to send mail to. Here are a few that I have used or still use! Then I found mail friends through various websites. My first pals were people that I would talk to on a daily basis online! I don’t know how we found things to write about in letters but we sure did we would send each other 5+ page letters. All of my pen pal relationships have started because of the internet. Some like to blame it for the decline in letter writing, and I would argue that it is probably the easiest thing to use to find people to write to as fast as possible. The internet is kind of a funny tool for people who love to write letters. I recently received a comment that asked, “How do you find pen pals?” so I thought I would describe that here as easy as i can!
