MY name Is Brooke McCabe, I am 19 years old and I come the Art Deco town of Napier New Zealand.
How did u start pen paling? I started pen paling because I loved learning about new people from all around the world and different cultures.
How many pals do you have? I currently still write with2 penpals, one in Scotland and one in America, other than that I keep in contact with them through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snap Chat
What do you like most about this hobby? Learning about different cultures, making new friends.
What do you like least about the hobby? How much it cost to send international letters
What are some tips to people who just started pen paling? Take time in thinking about what you are writing, don’t come off pushy and just be yourself.
What do you collect or swap? I collect and swap Postcards, Magnets, Key rings, candy.
Are you currently looking for new pals? And if so how can they contact you Yes!! They can contact me through Facebook!
Tell us how you organize yourself to respond to letters I get quite slack with writing letters back but I make sure at the end of each month I’ve written back
Tell us anything else you like to let the world know can you please include some pictures of you, your town or whatever you like to share and also a sample of your handwriting stating “hello penpals forlife" thank you so much I am a huge traveller!! I go overseas about 1-2 times a year and I’m planning on a working holiday in Canada next year, I would love to get to know anyone from Canada or anywhere in the world. Please be around my age (19).

OCT MBR OF MONTH
My name is Lorianne, i'm 29 years old and live in a small town in New Jersey. i work at a pharmacy where i've worked for over 11 years. i've been pen palling for over 14 years and love it so much. i started writing letters 14 years ago. i remembered how we did it once in 2nd grade to another school overseas and how much i liked it. so happy that i got into it when i did. i have around 10 pen pals. both statewide and internationally. I love pen palling because it a great way to meet new people and learn about different cultures.
Unfortunately one of the down falls of pen palling is that it's SNAIL MAIL. i sometimes don't have the best patients and it's something you need when pen palling. If you have patients with your letters and the mail system, it will all be worth it in the end. i've written/given my address to probably 40 people and so far in 2 months i've only heard from 10 people. But the 10 ppl I have heard from are awsome people and I'm happy we are pen pals . As i've said previously, Patients is important when pen palling esp. when you are just starting. you may only receive 1/2 letters per 10 letters sent out. i have a few collections. I collect Post Cards 1000+, shot glasses 100+, anything to do with Pen Palling (pens, paper, tapes, stickers, markers etc. ) and i have a huge Nail Polish collection 600+.
Right now i'm only looking for a few female pals 21-31 yr international pen pals from: Brazil, Chile, Spain, Austria, Tokyo, China, Paris, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, India and Hong Kong. If you are from any of these countries please feel free to email me: [email protected]
When it comes to my letters i'm a FAST responder. I've tried to organize my letters that i need to reply to so many different ways, but i seems to respond before i can even organize them. So i put them in a small rubber made container ( in order in which i received them)
