Hello! I live in the United States (San Francisco, California) and I am looking to make new friends/pen pals here in the U.S. and in other countries. I love to travel and learn about other cultures.  I was born and raised in Northern California and although I love it here, I have a strong desire to see and experience other parts of the world.  I'm a really sweet outgoing person and I value and respect good friends. I strive to be a good friend and penpal so if you send me a sincere message, I will make it a point to respond to you.

I have traveled to Spain, Italy, London, France, Mexico, Canada and all over the United States.

PLEASE NOTE:  If your profile is blank or you do not have a picture posted then it is very likely that I will not respond to your message.
