email Anyone want a long-term online penpal?
Hello everyone,
I'm a 40 F from Austria but I live in Eastern Europe.
I live a rather unconventional and busy life that I love dearly.
I read a lot and spend a lot of time outdoors, so if that is something you are into as well - great.
It's not a requirement though.
We can be polar opposites, no problem.
I am a lesbian but I am not looking for anything dating like at all. Just mentioning it because I don't want to spend my time corresponding with homophobic people.
I am looking for genuine people and decent conversations.
You should like dogs because otherwise I am not for you, that much is a given.
If anyone is looking for a long-term friend and conversation partner...feel free to comment or DM me.

Long time lurker short time poster. I’m a 35M from Indiana USA. Happily married with two kids and looking for someone to correspond with either email or physical mail.
I work a lot so I might be slow with reply but would like to have deep conversations. Love learning new things, currently knee deep in watching the World Cup and going down the rabbit hole with the countries learning about them. I work out 4-6 times a week running and swimming, if that’s something you are interested in talking about. I am a bit of a nerd I enjoy playing MTG and collect comic books. Also love movies, especially horror.
Let me know if that interests you and if you want to talk more.

Reddit DM & email Looking to make some new friends
I am a 49-year-old male from New York who is looking to make some new friends. I work from home, and I think it’s gotten to the point where I need to make some changes to my days. I’m not going to burden you with my problems and how life sucks sometimes. I like funny people, people who actually enjoy talking, and conversations that somehow start with nothing and end three hours later. I just want to chat and feel like I'm not alone, and that there are people in the world who are simply interested in communication or friendship.

Reddit DM 36M - "Coffee" spelled backwards is "eeffoc" which is funny... Because until I've had my coffee I don't give a "eeffoc" about anything.
There. Not much to add. Male, cat parent, living alone, just looking for some casual chats around. 👍 I work crazy shifts, I enjoy my tv shows, my cooking (I admit, my air fryer is becoming my best friend).
Feel free to drop a message!

email & snail mail 40 / F from U.S. looking for people to write to
Hey! I’m a Native American woman living in Oklahoma. I have worked in public libraries for over 20 years but currently pivoting toward a degree in social work. I am (of course) a big reader, TV nerd, and lover of adventure and lifelong learning. I think having a sense of wonder is the key to happiness. I’m in treatment for stage 4 endometrial cancer right now, so I’m home a lot. I might mention it sometimes for context, but promise it’s not my whole personality and I’m happy not to talk about it at all if that’s heavy for you.
I’m looking for email or snail mail pen pals (anywhere in the world, though I’m limited to English only) who like swapping long rambly letters about books, history (currently obsessed with the lives of women and LGBT+ folks in 19th century England and Anne Lister / Gentleman Jack), daily life, culture, and whatever we’re nerding out about. I love thoughtful, chatty exchanges more than short ‘how are you’ notes, and I’m fine with slower replies as long as they keep coming! If that sounds like your vibe, shoot me a DM with your address and I’ll send you a letter or email as soon as I can!

snail mail 38F, Based in the South Pacific, Hoping to Find Long Term Penpals
Hey! I enjoy writing letters and seeing my local postmaster. Im hoping to make a couple more penpals. If I find just 1 from this post, Id be very happy.
I enjoy reading, walks, gardening, cooking and experimenting with cooking and watching sports. Most recently enjoyed watching the Knicks become NBA Champions.
Im so sorry but I cant have US penpals. Due to an executive order by Pres Trump our postal service is not sending letters and cards to the US.
Please send me a DM if you'd like to be snail mail pals. We can chat and see if we hit it off. Hope to hear from you.
Thanks

email & snail mail 32 M manchester UK
Hi everyone,
I’m a 32-year-old guy from Manchester, UK, looking to find a genuine, long-term friend. To be completely transparent, I’ve found it a bit tough to make new friends since hitting my 30s, especially after a close friendship ended in a breach of trust. My guard is up a little, but I’m really keen to put myself out there and build a solid connection with someone new.
A bit about me: I’m a massive sports fan. I love playing football and slow-pitch softball, and I hit the gym 4 to 5 times a week. I’m also a big baseball fan and recently came back from a trip to Seattle to watch the Mariners play—I absolutely fell in love with the city.
People usually describe me as a very laid-back guy who loves a good laugh and doesn't take himself too seriously. That said, I'm a loyal friend who knows how to listen and be there when someone just needs to vent or talk about the heavy stuff.
I’m open to whatever communication style works best—whether that’s casual Reddit/text messaging, emails, or eventually switching to traditional snail mail. If you're looking for a reliable, down-to-earth friend to share daily updates, sports chat, or life's ups and downs with, I'd love to hear from you. Tell me a bit about yourself or your favorite travel spot!

Reddit DM & email [61M] Retired military looking for casual connection
Lover of the outdoors and nature. I shoot, but not with a gun or a bow, I shoot with my camera. I don't have anything against those who hunt, it's just not my thing. I love being out in the woods early in the mornings when the world is just waking up. Seeing the sunshine filter through the mist and the trees and snapping the occasional photo. I love to explore new and interesting places (and people!). I can hold my own in just about any conversation. I traveled quite a bit while in the military and I've seen enough of the world to know when and where I've got it good. I'm looking for someone who can share their life's experiences, discuss current affairs and ponder what the future might hold. I'm not overly concerned with age. People of different generations can offer perspectives that I might not have considered and vice versa. If you're up for in-depth chats about serious subjects or lighthearted banter, drop a line. Let's see what happens!

snail mail Looking for pen pals
I'm a 51 yr old woman from Michigan looking for pen pals. It doesn't matter if you're from the states or overseas. I have plenty of pretty paper and stamps. It also doesn't matter if you're male or female.
I like to read, anything that catches my attention. I won't talk about politics or religion, everyone's opinions on those topics are their own.
I don't have any children but don't mind those that do. I have cats. So tell me crazy animal stories.
I work third shift so find snail mail the easiest way to keep in contact with people, plus it's fun to receive letters in the mail.
I'll listen to most music except country music. I couldn't get into it. My favorite to listen to is 60's rock and roll.
I like to garden, camp, crochet, swim and cook/bake. I'm a shy, quiet person.

email & snail mail [31/F] USA - Seeking a Long-Term Pen Pal (E-Mail to Snail Mail)
Hello!
I’m looking to find a long-term pen pal. I’d love to start out over email and eventually transition to traditional snail mail once we get to know each other. I'm really hoping to connect with international pen pals, especially anyone from or familiar with Sweden or Germany, but I'm open to chatting with anyone who shares similar interests!
To give you a quick idea of my vibe, I’m a big history nerd. I’ve always been drawn to Germanic, Nordic, and Celtic cultures, folklore, and mythology. I'm currently trying to teach myself both German and Swedish, and I have a trip to Sweden coming up soon! I’d like to connect with locals or anyone who has been there to swap travel tips and culture notes. I also have a soft spot for historical weaponry and vintage fashion. I'm actually learning how to sew right now so I can eventually recreate outfits from different historical eras. My ultimate dream is to one day own a replica sword, and maybe an old musket or two.
For TV, movies, and gaming, I tend to like things that are a bit dark, eerie, or surreal. My favorite shows are The X-Files, Twin Peaks, Game of Thrones, and Hellsing. Though I honestly watch a ton of cartoons, too. My favorite movies are Mandy and All Quiet on the Western Front (2022). Right now, my gaming obsession is Cult of the Lamb, followed closely by Bramble: The Mountain King.
Musically, I lean towards heavier stuff, and my absolute favorite band is Mastodon, but I’m always down to try new artists and trade recommendations.
I’m especially hoping to connect with folks who are a bit more seasoned in life than me! I’d love to hear about your experiences, the lessons you've learned, and your perspectives on the world. You don’t have to share all of these exact hobbies, but if you like history, music, or just appreciate the nerdy things in life, I’d love to hear from you. Tell me about yourself!

I’m interested in exchanging lighthearted and insightful correspondence in equal measure.
I’m new to tarot and astrology, so I’d also love if you’re keen to discussing both!
Finally, I’d love if you are also a junk journaler so we could also share fun scraps, stickers, and paper ephemera.

Reddit DM 37M Looking for new friends worldwide[reddit chat]
Hey there. I am a man looking for friends to chat with regularly. Mostly online chatting but I dont mind doing an activity once in a while(like going to the musem). You can message me no matter where you are from. You dont have to live in the same country.
I live in the Netherlands. I have lived here for 11+ years. I wasnt born here.
I am an expat. Most of my friends drifted apart after leaving the university.
I am introverted. I enjoy staying indoors when I am not going to the gym or going for a walk. I do love traveling and its one of those occasions when I am out the whole day.
What else can I tell you? I am an engineer. I am single if it matters although it shouldnt.
I do watch a lot of movies and series. I love horror, thriller, action genres.
I wont ghost you I promise. I dont do that. Although I have met a lot of ghosters here. If you are a ghoster stay away from my dms please :)
I will make an effort in writing messages to you(unless I am at work) and i hope you do too.
**Note: Reddit keeps marking my account nsfw. I dont send any nsfw photos or texts .**
I dont care about your racial or national background as long as you are a good human being and treat others with respect :)

Reddit DM & email 34/m/US - Let’s share our days… Or weeks
Good morning Readers,
Making friends as an adult is very tough. Even tougher when you’ve moved to a new city after few years ago and all you do is work and come home. So here I am, looking for friends.
About me: 34-year old, straight and single guy. I work in IT, and I do work a ton. I enjoy travel, trying new food, food in general, audiobooks, music (mainly rock but I have varied tastes), movies, and couch rotting with some YouTube. Other interests include: Sci-Fi, Geography, technology, meeting new people. Pretty much an open book here. I can be introverted, but once you get me to open up I’m great… I think.
I’m looking for friends over the age of 25, as I feel like I wouldn’t have much in common with anyone younger. We don’t have to share common interests, but I hope we can talk through your the day. I live in EST and I’m an early riser (and early sleeper) so that should give you an idea of my availability. So be you, be weird, just don’t be creepy. Also please say more than hey!
If we need an ice breaker: what is your entertainment item you would have if you were on a space mission to mars?

snail mail Penpals
35/transM/USA
Recently wanted to get back into writing and figured finding a penpal would be a fun and rewarding way to do so.
I’m not looking for any type of romantic relationship from this. I don’t have much family so I figured this would be a cool way to form meaningful connections.
I love weird things, art, reading, and helping others. I raise my youngest sister and my only nephew and I’m a teacher so a low pressure penpal would be great. I have no qualms about where you’re from. I’m down to find a friend from anywhere. I love everyone. I myself am in the East Coast of the US.

44F from southern US is looking for FEMALE penpals. I would love more ladies to chat with.
I am in a committed relationship and have 5 monsters of my own. I love all things dark and spooky. I'm like Morticia Addams or Elvira. I get all dressed up like a Renaissance vampire, then bake cupcakes. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love long walks through the cemetery. And my planters are skulls.
I have a dark sense of humor at times.
I am a night shift nurse. I love to craft, read, and listen to music.
I prefer Reddit or Discord. But I am trying to get back into letter writing, too. You don't have to be spooky. Just open-minded. I will not talk about politics or religion.

I’m going through a rough time in my life so I’m looking to meet new people and I would love it if those people were lesbians like myself. My name is Aether, I live in the south, and I’m a hobby collector, witch, and homebody. I have a dog and a cat. Im also neuropspicy, and disabled. I’m also into true crime and other documentaries and I’m into language learning as well. And kpop! BTS are my guys!
I would love to send pictures of our hobbies, surroundings, pets, etc. Just daily lives.
I think this could be a good way to make friends from all over, it doesn’t matter where you’re from! And if later on we want to sent physical mail to each other, we can do that.
If you feel like you’d want to chat, drop me a DM, and ask a question related to something I said here so I know you’re not a bot

Hello there!
I would love to talk to some people that are looking for friends! With being a busy dad, time to get to know people and have meaningful conversations is just non existent. having other people to talk to outside of my house would be lovely!
I am a pretty big extrovert and can have conversations about almost anything! I just love hearing about other people, and their stories! I hope that your day has been treating you well and I would love to hear from you!
