In my free time I love reading books, especially connected with history and classics. My favourite authors are Jane Austen and Jack London and many, many others (just see below if you want to know :)

And I like sudoku! :)

I like listening to music, especially rock and some metal (System of a down, Within Temptation and Nightwish).

I love getting to know other cultures!

I love writing and receiving long letters. I don't mind sending each other some cultural gifts like postcards etc. That'd be nice but its not a necessity of any kind :)

I'd prefer snail mail penpals, but not only. And over 12 years old, but it'd be great if we had anything in common. I don't mind older people (even far older) if we have anything to talk about. It'd be fantastic if you also liked reading books simlilar to those I like reading. It's not a necessity, though.
But as I said, it'd be fantastic to find someone with whom I could discuss books :)

Reading books, listening to music, writing letters, learning languages, chemistry!, sudoku, history, sailing, skiing, snowboarding​, ping-pong :) - but I'm not very good at it

*Linkin Park
*many others :)

*"Pride​ and Prejudice"​ (both 1995 and 2005, although BBC version was slightly better)
*"Sween​ey Todd" (slightly too bloody, but still very good)

I still want to watch "Becomi​ng Jane" and "Elizabeth"​ and "Elizab​eth: the Golden Age" :) All three must be great.
I don't watch many movies as I don't have time, but I love that!
