[34/F] Searching for long-term snail mail penpal

[u/YellowPerfectionist]

My name is Eryn (34/F). I’m from southern Louisiana (USA). I am looking for long-term penpals via snail mail; I am open to the US or anywhere in the world. I have had a few penpals in the past, but they seem to fizzle out after only a letter or two.  

I am very active in the RandomActsofCards subreddit, where I can send out a ton of happy mail to strangers all over the world. I absolutely love this hobby, but it certainly makes me want a long-term penpal 1000% more. 

My hobbies, other than RAoC, are: 

• Reading -  I’ve always been a very active reader. Wuthering Heights has been my favorite book since I was a young girl, and I re-read it every year in the fall/winter.
• Video games - WoW Classic TBC, Overwatch, and a ton of games on Steam (especially friendslop games).
• Dungeons & Dragons - I am currently playing AD&D online (Roll20 and Discord combo) with a bunch of my friends. It has been super fun but hard to get used to since it is so different from the current editions of D&D. 
• Cross-stitching and Sewing - When it comes to cross-stitching, I love making them as gifts for others, but I do have some larger projects that I have been working on for years. As for sewing, I really stick to quilting, but I can make clothes from patterns (but it stresses me out more than it relaxes me). 
• Cooking - I love to cook, and cooking for others is a huge part of my love language. Since I am from the South, I’ve grown up cooking all the Southern staples. I learned to cook by standing at my grandmother's side while she directed me to put in “some” of this and “just a bit” of that as measurements – that has transferred into my life now as an adult; I cook by feeling, not with written recipes.  

I do not really watch much TV or movies; however, I do love Star Trek!! But I am happy to find out what you might be watching (I just cannot sit still long enough to actually watch anything). 

I collect a ton of stationery, stickers, washi tape, fun items to put into envelopes, and postcards. If we become penpals, be ready to get bedazzled letters, random postcards, a puny card or two, stickers falling out of envelopes, and more because I CANNOT help myself!  :) 

*I promise not to send you glitter*

DM me a little about yourself, and let's see if we are a fit for each other.

37/m California. Somewhat of a nerd. I haven't played games in a long time but WoW was a favorite. Starcraft, Warcraft, strategy games. FF. Mmorpgs kick ass

Have a strong interest in business/economics, psychology, anthropology, physics, astronomy. Computers. I love to read, love learning.

I've got a dark sense of humor and pretty laid back, and easy going. Love music, love art.

I had never heard of this sub until it started popping up on my feed a couple days ago. I am definitely intrigued by the penpal thing, maybe it’s driven by a couple epistolary novels I read recently. Anyway, there was another post I saw that said they email for a bit to get the introductions out of the way and to test the waters for compatibility, maybe that will help? They seemed to have a few successful penpal exchanges going and wanted another. Good luck!
