Hi all,
I'm looking for new friends outside the US that I can get to know through snail mail or email. I would love to learn about your home and culture, and all about you. I live in a beautiful and exciting city to write about, plus I have two cute cats who are always doing funny things.
If you're looking for a long-term snail mail friendship, please contact me!
Ginger

PS: I only accept friend requests from people I've become friends with already through messages.

I'm not looking for romance or flirting, so I may not reply to messages along those lines. Also I am only looking for penpals outside the US.

I would enjoy learning a bit of your language, whatever it may be!
