About Me
Hi! I've been penpalling since I was about 11 years old, I still write to my very first overseas pen pal. I'm interested in SNAIL MAIL pals only. I am hopeless at emails!
I love meeting new people, particularly from different cultures and places. I work for an emergency service in dispatch and also work part time teaching english (TESOL) at a local adult college.

Requests
No specific requests - but if you do send me a message please write something more than "hi". "Hi" will just become a deleted message.
