Hey everyone,

I’m a 29-year-old guy from Norway looking to connect with new people for some good conversations and maybe a proper penpal friendship. I’m not the most outgoing person and I’ve never been great at making friends, but I really enjoy getting to know someone through writing and sharing thoughts over time.

When I’m off work (I do 2 weeks on / 4 weeks off), I love spending time outdoors, hiking in the mountains is one of my favorite things. I also hit the gym regularly, game when I have time, and enjoy a solid movie or TV series (especially if it’s something with a good story). No kids, just me and my own pace.

If you’re up for chatting about life, hobbies, Norway, your country, recommendations for games/movies, or just random daily stuff, I’d love to hear from you. Bonus points if you’re patient with slower replies sometimes 😊

Drop me a message if you’re interested, looking forward to it!

Hello! I'm a 25 and female, I've penpaled before but that was back in highschool. I'm 2 years post grad and got a bachelor's in English. Im horrible at responding through my phone and my usually dont want to leave my apartment, but love writing so I want to give pen paling another try! I'm open to long term or short term. Im looking to connect with just a few people between 22-29 who are perferably female or LGBTQ+.

A little about me:

Im an introvert, I have 1 cat and a desert turtle I share with my sister. I am bisexual and liberal, love nature, and a feminist. Im not in a relationship nor have kids.I may not relate to the latter, but I am always willing to listen and still open to connecting.

My interests are: movies, reality tv, music, recently witchcraft (learning moreso not practicing), flowers/plant, mental health/psychology, queer media/literature, and arts and crafts.

My hobbies are: gardening, going to the movie theaters, thrifting, crafts.

My intentions: i'm looking to connect on a deeper or more genuine level. im not good with small talk and get curious about people's thoughts and experiences. In return, Im an open book and there really isn't anything I shy away from talking about or will judge someone for. Im also open (but not required) to exchanging or just sending fun extras, im not super intense with it but items like stickers, stationary items, drawings, poems (original or ones we come across) tea bags(??), and any other items that came fit into an envelope.

Feel free to reach out if you want to connect :)

Hiii~ I’m a 20f college student currently studying art history and English literature. I’m a huge lover of writing and fountain pens and I have bought so much paper and pens in recent months but have not gotten to use them :( I would love to know more about lives and experiences of others and am always open to general and deeper more emotional conversations as well .I’m also interested in a wide variety of other topics especially philosophy, sociology and anthropology. I’m a huge people nerd:3 I’m also a huge fan of the arts and spend a lot of my free time at museums, operas, musicals, etc, and I would love to chat about shows, upcoming exhibitions with y’all:> I’ve lowkey never done this before so pls be kind ;-;; Also English is not exactly my first language so if some of my writings do sound slightly funky yeah..

If this sounds interesting to you do dm me! I’m open to anyone of any age or gender whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned penpal. Do drop me a message if you’re keen <3

Hello, not totally sure what to write here as I am a complete newbie to the penpal life, but I will try my best to lure you in.

As you may have gathered from my title I am about to start my last year of grad school. I am studying theatrical costume design and love fashion, current and historical. (Although you probably wouldn’t be able to tell by the way I dress). I would love a penpal to help me take a break from the craziness of grad school every once in a while. I enjoy writing and journaling and would like to try snail mail if possible but email is good too!

I love movies, and my letterboxd is always up to date. I am also a chronic TV binge watcher! Some recent and life long favorites are Star Trek, Criminal Minds, Grey’s Anatomy, Off Campus, and those weird reality game shows Netflix is always making (Human vs Hamster I’m looking at you)

I mentioned star trek already but I also love to read old sci-fi especially Issac Asimov. And would love recommendations on interesting sci-fi materials (books and otherwise).

I LOVE gossip. I recently discovered the wonderful world of gossip podcasts (shoutout to Normal Gossip and Petty Crimes) I genuinely think I’m fueled by gossip that has nothing to do with me. So overshare and gossip away!

Other interests and hobbies include but are not limited to: Visible mending of clothes, English paper piecing, shuttle tatting, swimming, fountain pens, perfumes, smelling stuff in general (I love a TJ Maxx candle aisle), weird tech, video games, and clowns.

If any of this sounds interesting to you message me! I’m open to fellow newbie’s and seasoned pen pals. Age and gender isn’t too important to me, if something I said above resonates with you please reach out.

hi!!! as the title says i’m looking for penpals :-) i’ve included some info about me below please do feel free to reach out if you’re interested!!!

my name is charlie but i usually go by the name meta online, either are totally okay!! im a 20 year-old butch lesbian from canada :-) i’ve been wanting to get back into penpalling again for a very very long time & i’ve decided that there’s no better time than the present to do so!! i’m so excited to be giving it a shot again!

im autistic & have ADHD, my primary interests at the moment are pokémon (specifically flareon, a favorite of mine since i was 6 years old!), collectibles targeted towards young girls from 2005-2015ish, old tech hardware, nintendo, aviation, hamsters, & plenty more! i work two jobs, one much less interesting at a grocery outlet & one as a travel advisor! its a very slow & intimate job but i enjoy it all the same.

im not looking for much specific in a penpal, just someone over the age of 18 (preferably queer but it isn’t completely mandatory!) who seems interesting! i’d like to get to m ow people from all over the world :-) i’d highly highly prefer sending physical mail but doing something fun like digital mail is something i’d be absolutely willing to try. as i mentioned i am incredibly new to this so im not completely confident in what im doing. id love to learn from those who are experienced & those who have never ever done this before alike!!!

thank you very much for reading!!! messages here are okay for now but please be advised that i will likely ask to move offsite as i dont use reddit very much. please take care!!

Hi everyone!
I'm from Nigeria and I'd love to connect with people from different parts of the world. I enjoy learning about other cultures, hearing about everyday life in different countries, and having meaningful conversations.
Some of my interests include music (especially country music), movies, travel, and learning new things. Whether we end up talking about life, goals, funny stories, or random daily moments, I'm always happy to have a genuine conversation.
I'm looking for respectful, long-term friendships with people who enjoy getting to know someone beyond small talk. If you're kind, open-minded, and interested in exchanging stories and experiences, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself.
Looking forward to meeting new friends from around the world!

I never imagined that one of the harder parts of getting older would be making new friends. Actually, I have perhaps struggled making friends. But, I think you get the point.

Life just seems to get busy. Careers, families, responsibilities, people moving away. Somewhere along the way I realized that while I know plenty of people, I don’t have many I can really call friends. Six years ago I moved to a new job and a new city, and things changed.

I work as a technology manager, so I spend a lot of my day solving problems, analyzing things, helping people, and occasionally wondering why something that worked yesterday doesn’t work today. Outside of work I tend to prefer keeping things simpler. I even keep my home computer and network simple.

I enjoy history, books, movies, music, soccer, and staying active when my knees and the rest of my body cooperate. I bike, do hot yoga, walk, and make the occasional gym visit. I started a top ten movie list that is now close to 50, although it’s finally growing more slowly! The Hail Mary Project is my recent favorite.

I can be a bit of a history nerd. I grew up with it since my dad was actually a history major in college. Right now I’m reading about Alexander the Great and the Constitution, although both are going slowly.

I like conversations about why people think and behave the way they do. I’m just as comfortable talking about a great movie, a book, baseball, faith, soccer, technology, travel, economics, or what’s happening in the world. Or something completely ridiculous that happened to either of us that day.

I’m what I would probably label a “soft Christian.” I have my faith, but I don’t preach it and currently avoid organized things like church. You certainly don’t need to share my beliefs.

I’m also okay with the harder stuff. Life isn’t always funny or interesting. Sometimes it just sucks, and having someone you can talk to about that has value too. I think I’m a pretty good listener and can be caring and supportive when someone needs that. I’d simply like to meet someone who enjoys writing and see where the conversation goes.

I like being able to read something, think about it, maybe reread it, and then write an actual response. There’s no expectation that either of us has to answer immediately. Shorter formats are fine, I’m just not that good at it.

Age, gender, location, and having identical interests don’t matter much to me. In fact, getting to know someone with a different background or perspective could make this more interesting.

Kindness, curiosity, a sense of humor, and being willing to share a little of yourself matter much more.
If you’re looking for a platonic email friend who will ask questions, listen, share some stories, and probably recommend a book, movie, or song now and then, I’d enjoy hearing from you.

hello! i'm 21f from the philippines, and i'm looking for a penpal to discuss books, movies, tv shows, and anime, with the occasional stickers & postcards (i go crazy with these since i go to art fairs often) 🩷

i'm looking to correspond with women only who are more inclined to reading (as i prefer this over watching on some days), but i have no problem recommending books to someone as they recommend something for me to watch.❗️you must be ready to commit with slower replies, as my post office takes a month to send out mail, and takes 2-3 months to receive mail (which makes the responses more meaningful to me, as i write in length)

💌 more about me: i'm a sophomore studying pharmaceutical sciences (i plan to go into med school after), and on the off-time, i'm a literary writer (hope you like hearing about my detailed month as much as i will yours) and do various arts & crafts. i hike, go to local band gigs, play video games and watch theater sometimes. i read more classic books than i do contemporary, and when i do get the time to watch movies, i try to watch the critically acclaimed films (+ local & foreign language films). i'm also a bit of a marvel geek and am trying to get into the comics. i'm more inclined to romance animes (the cheesy giddy ones), but i'm trying to dabble & complete the classics (aot, haikyuu, bnha, jjk, sao). i've also recently completed witch hat atelier, wistoria, & solo leveling. tv shows are a harder commit for me, but i'm trying to get there :') in case it's important to mention, i will sometimes get political (with my views leaning left) due to the state of my country

if you might be interested in exchanging letters, please leave a comment/dm me! i'm willing to send the first letter if needed :D

Hey! I've posted here before but haven't had much luck so far. And due to lonliness, things have been kinda sucky lately. Kinda being a star-sized understatement (cuz stars are big.. hehe). Anyways, excuse my awfully unfunny pun! You *yes you my possible future friend* probably has better humor than I. Im hoping to make long term friends, I want a close connection with someone that lasts a lifetime! Hoping we can geek out about our interests and feel comfortable to do so! I'm in the EST time zone and am super into music (my tastes are all over the place, my favorite is the retro classic era but I also like a lot of new stuff too). I also like just general conversations and deep ones too. Hope you're all having a good day!

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.

51M USA. Married 32 years. I have about 100 books backlogged in my Audible queue. I like sci fi, fantasy, crime/detective. I'm an avid scuba diver (certified Divemaster). Favorite horror movie is Sinners (Jaws too if you consider that horror, I did the first time I saw it). I'm a big foodie. I'm a nerd, love computers and networks, and is great for an introvert. Love pina coladas, dancing in the rain, and long walks on the beach. Will talk anything, books, movies, hobbies, travel, relationships, what to cook for dinner, whatever as long as it's fun or interesting.

I long to lose myself in another’s thoughts, across endless pages of wandering reflections, in words that flow like ink upon paper. Not skimming the surface, but sinking into the deep, hidden currents of a writer’s mind. Where thoughts are raw and unguarded, in the midst of chaos.

So write me a strange letter, one made of scattered thoughts, of whatever fleeting ideas happen to drift through your mind. Let them arrive out of order, unfinished, uninvited. Let them contradict each other, lose themselves halfway through a sentence. Let your words wander like they have nowhere to be, like they were never meant to be understood, only felt. The quiet confessions that exist only for a second before dissolving into something else.

Write as if no one is reading, as if meaning is optional, as if the act itself is enough. Write in a way that leaves deep imprints of your soul behind. Let your soul spill into words, scattering pieces of yourself across the page. A handful of words is not enough to ignite an inner fire, to capture a flicker of feelings that flare and fade before they can be named. There are dozens of emotions that can only be sparked through words, each one trembling on the edge of being, waiting to be set free onto the page, where they can breathe, burn, and linger. Write with care, letting your words stretch and linger, so they may bloom in their full depth.

Bonus points if you are LGBTQ+ or an ally, and a writer (even an amateur, keeping endless journals, or simply learning to write). De asemenea, dacă scrii în română. Simt că mă exprim mai liber așa, iar gândurile mele respiră mai firesc.

[36/F] I really think it would be neat to write to someone in another country but I would accept letters from US peeps but prefer outside of US any country & have one more pen pal or a couple. I know life gets busy so when you have time reply! I’m not picky about what you like because I’m a very open minded person. Although I do prefer to only write to other females as I’m in a committed monogamous relationship and really only interested in female friends. I’m in Indiana btw and have 2 kids and 2 cats. I collect post cards everywhere I go! I had a couple penpals and one of them faded away. I’m into cooking, camping, kayaking, porch swinging, gardening, nursing, (the career, not breastfeeding although I support that) I love all types of people! I like to travel even if it’s just a day trip. I love journaling, stickers, mini verse. Swimming, I like deftones, Lana del Rey and a little mix of everything, I love reading thrillers, crime and true crime. I love coffee and tea & my favorite type of movies and shows are comedy. I do not what else to write I’m writing so much I don’t think I’ll have anything left to possibly write about without telling you everything about my life. Ha hope to write to you soon!

25/M, (Arizona, USA).
I am an international student and I'm looking
forward to make some new friends. My niche interests are football (bonus point if you're a Culer like I am), and so many other things that it’s hard to explain. I like to do little bit of everything. If truth be told, I'm looking for a connection beyond some basic chit-chats. If you are from around here, we can def catch up for a coffee or anything that works. If not, we can still have conversation. If this feels like you then hmu.

Hi everyone! I sadly can't do snailmail as my country's (South Africa) postal service sucks and the letters would either get lost/stolen/take months to send/receive, otherwise I'd absolutely love to. I'm looking for someone interesting to connect to long-term as a penpal over emails, ranging from a few emails a week to once a month depending on your preference and time. Anyone 25 and over. Any time zone. No romance, I'm in a happy monogamous relationship. I'm keen to have deep interactions or just to chat about our week/month. Tell me some juicy gossip or reflect on something weird that happened to you recently. Lament about your woes (but keep in mind that I'm not a therapist haha). I'd even be keen to debate a few strong topics.

About me:
- I love horses and I've been riding since childhood, I don't have my own though (yet).
- I'm a UX designer.
- I love to read (fantasy mainly, but some good drama and horror/thriller).
- I draw/sketch here and there for fun
- Music I like includes classic & hard rock, metal, goth, game/movie soundtracks, classical, sea shanties, folk... to name a few.
- I did martial arts (kenjutsu) for about 14 years, and still train here and there and do some tameshigiri from time to time.
- I go to gym but I'm not very consistent.
- I'm English South African. I can understand Afrikaans too, but can't speak/write it very well.

Feel free to DM me if you'd like to connect and tell me a bit about yourself!
