Ready? Set? Go! ...Hi everyone! Hola a todos! I'm an American (but I feel more European!) that would love to hear from people from Europe, especially Spain!  I used to live in Spain & NYC, but now am in boring Cleveland, planning my escape from suburbia before I go mad! Where are those winning Lottery numbers anyhow?! :P Fun, intelligent,​ sincere people please write! Anyone who travels a lot or has lived in Spain would be especially welcome. I'd love a few new long-letter snail mail pals who can write on a regular basis. Por cierto,me podeis escribir en castellano! Busco amigos de Espana.

FRIENDSHIP only! I am not interested in romance, marriage, cyber sex, sending you money, adopting you, helping you come to the USA (But...I will consider a marriage of convenience for a EU passport!) ;) Males and females welcome to write, but please say something when you write...not only ask about the weather. Oh! I would love to meet someone who is living or has lived in Chicago, as I travel there quite often. Any language teachers out there? Drop me a line!
