I'm Alyssa. I'm sixteen years old turning seventeen on November 21st. I live in Yorkville, IL with my mom. I am a junior at Yorkville High School.

I speak English and can somewhat converse in German.
I am trying to learn Russian and French on my own while also continuing my German classes.


I'm always online or playing video games. It's what I like to do. I'm a Poketard. And I'm proud to admit it. Loving Pokemon for over a decade! :D! I also love to write poetry, stories, and anything else that comes to me. I'm also a huge Harry Potter nerd. I play Maplestory (global) as well.
I love my friends, but I always want to meet more.
I have a good sense of humour, especially around my friends.
I am very into music, mostly limited to rock and its sub-genres. My favourite band is Underoath.
I would love to get help with my German. :P

I don't have a preference as to which country my penpal is from.

I want to learn French and Russian while continuing German.
I could help you with English. :3

For people who are not located in the USA, I can email, instant message, snail mail, and Skype.
For those who are in the United States, I can also call and text message.

English is my native language, and I'll be able to help with any difficulties​.
I speak limited German (I'm still taking classes) so I'll need help with it.

I'd also like to learn French and Russian.

Writing, listening to music, playing video games, being around friends, instant messaging, etc.

Oh, and Pokemon.
I'm a total loser for it.
Harry Potter.
