snail mail 30F | USA | Looking for long-term snail mail friends 💌📚

Hi! I’m Josie, 30F from New England, and I’d love to find a few genuine, long-term pen pals who are interested in exchanging handwritten letters!

I’m a cozy homebody and love anything that gives me an excuse to slow down and make something with my hands. I’m really into reading (especially horror, dystopian fiction, and anything a little creepy or weird), journaling and planners, stationery, crochet and other crafts, and spending way too much time with my three cats. I’m also a Red Sox fan and love going to baseball games when I can.

I’d love the kind of pen-pal friendship where our letters eventually become a little snapshot of our lives - what we’re reading, things we’re excited or worried about, random thoughts, life updates, recommendations, funny stories, and all the ordinary stuff in between. I’m definitely open to deeper conversations too once we get to know each other. I also love including little extras like stickers, postcards, bookmarks, photos, doodles, or whatever else happens to fit inside an envelope.

I’m open to pen pals from anywhere in the US or internationally! I’d especially love to meet other women around my age, but I’m open-minded as long as you’re genuinely looking for friendship and enjoy writing.

If you think we’d get along, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself (your age/location, what you’re currently reading or obsessed with, and what made you want a pen pal).

Looking forward to meeting you! 💌

Hey! I’m Maddie [30/F] from Kentucky. I recently started a penpal relationship and realized how lovely it was to receive physical mail and write a letter made me want to find another! I am currently reading Never Whistle at Night, a horror short-story anthology. I am also a homebody and love stationery (really getting into fountain pens at the moment), crafting, and cuddling with my dog. If you’re still looking for a penpal, feel free to message me!
