Hello Everyone! I joined this website because I started writing letters to friends and family after I moved far away from them, and it has sense then became a really fun hobby of mine that flourished during the covid pandemic. I don’t have a ton of time on my hands but I hope to join swaps when I can and have some fun with all of you!

A little bit about me: I am 21 years old and I am a huge animal lover. I have one pet, a little betta fish. I am currently going to college full time for an Accounting degree. When I’m home you can often find me playing video games or doing art. I love watercolor painting and gouache painting along with some oil painting.

Like:

—Postcards!!! These are my most favorite thing to send and receive, especially naked ones that have a personal message about the postcard or you or whatnot.

—Long letters. I haven’t been as active in pen paling, but when I do join these swaps I love reading about you and any thoughts you may have, and I’ll always be sure to send the same things back!

—Polaroid pictures, such as of your pets or of a project you are working on.

—Art!!! I love doing art myself, and I especially love receiving other people’s art, whether it’s the original piece or a print on a card/postcard.

Dislike:

—I do not drink tea or coffee, so that sort of stuff would be useless to me.

—Try not to have loose glitter, confetti, or anything that is going to make a mess please and thank you.

Since I mentioned I’m a big animal lover I figured I’d share some of my favorites, though I’ll love really anything I’m sent:

—Dogs! I used to help train them and take care of them while they board for an extended period of time.

—Cats! I've always liked cats, but recently they've been growing on me more and more. My boyfriend has a really sweet one.

---Bats, I just think they're neat.

—Hedgehogs! I had one growing up, she was really fun to have.

—How could I forget fish? I love my little betta, he has a lot of personality and is very fun to watch.

I have a few hobbies I really enjoy, some of them work great in addition to pen paling!

—Art. I love painting in water colors and gouache the most. I also enjoy oil painting and some good old sketching on pen and paper along with on my iPad.

—Gaming. I love playing games, it helps me relax and it is a fun thing to do with friends. I’m a huge Pokémon nerd and have played most of the generations. I’ve been playing a lot of Stardew Valley recently along with Monster Hunter Rise. I’m also a big fan of Animal Crossing.

—Camping. I grew up camping a lot with my dad, specifically backpacking. I love backpacking to lakes and other pretty sights around my area, especially during the non winter months.
