    Hello all,
    after a rather eventful summer I'm finally in our new home and have a desk set up! My pens are still boxed up somewhere in the garage. I bought some new ones so I'd love to get some use out of them by writing. I would welcome and will answer all correspondence, so PM me and we can exchange addresses.

    thanks to all,

    Kurt

    Some people have posted addresses and some may feel happier that only members can see them. There are some sections visible to all.

    Hello,

    like many others I too would like to add a few more pen pals. I like to write and am able to ramble on and on just about anything, but I'm also known to at times have a more philosophical inclination

    My general interrests are: music (both classical and jazz ), nature, cycling, camping (preferably a combination of those last two), art in general (photography in particular), food, science, culture, history and reading. In no particular order.

    I am from the Netherlands so I can obviously correspond in Dutch, but English is no problem. Other possible languages (they may be a little rusty though) are German, Polish and, yes: Esperanto!

    I already have a few pen pals from the USA, as that is where most forumites seem to reside, so I'd prefer to receive letters from some other places. Of course, if you live in the US and absolutely can't resist: feel free to write! I promise to respond to every letter or card!

    I'm a little hesitant to post my address here in this thread, out in the open, ready to be hunted down by the Great Google's spiderbots, so please PM me to exchange addresses.

    Greetings, Jesse (the male variety )

    I am interested in US or International Pen Pals. I have never done it. I have sent post cards to my Ham Radio Buddies I made contact on the radio but no formal or regular penpal writing. Besides it would be a great opportunity to use my fountain pens and perhaps discuss thing of the FP nature. For my address PM me sounds FUN!

    Hello!

    I would also like to add a few more pen pals. It's been a long time since I last placed a post looking for new friends. I've been writing letters since my childhood but most people switched to emails and I miss writing letters!
    I'm 37, married. I'm a lawyer and I own a small company. Besides writing I like reading, traveling, cycling, hiking, photography and of course, fountain pens.
    You can PM for my address. Hope to hear from you!

    Hello, I have participated in Incowrimo in previous years, and would welcome letters at any time of the year! Please send me a PM if you would like my address.

    I have been corresponding through handwritten letters for more than 10 years. Having used fountain pens at school, I ‘rediscovered’ them a couple of years ago, which made the writing process much more enjoyable.

    More information about my interests can be found in my profile.

    Maybe this is a silly question but how does one go about getting a pen pal? Despite my username, I do not have any I would have NO idea what to write about or where to start but would like to give it a go. Not sure this is the thread for my question but it seems the most fitting. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    You've come to the right thread! As for what to write - that plagues some penpals - some write what they call intro letters (and what I call akin to a CV) and I think these have been some of the most boring letters I've ever received (all about them). In response to a comment elsewhere, I wrote:

    The first letter can be quite daunting. I used to write something akin to a CV mentioning some hobbies (all about me)- but now have changed what I first write. Perhaps I have always wanted to visit the area you live in or have already been. Perhaps the name of your street evokes some memory or connection. Perhaps I have a relative or friend shares your first name and then there is a little anecdote to tell (how they had posters of Tom Jones, Sean Connery and/or other music/film stars, etc – your reply could be, “It wasn’t Tom Jones on my wall but David Bowie..”).. The old fail-safe – the weather (have you been affected by the storm/tornado…?). I even imagine we are friends already.

    If you have a few moments, you could have a look through http://www.lettersofnote.com/ or follow that site on Twitter – pictures of letters are regularly shown. The accompanying books (I have volume 1 in softback) are worth reading.

    (link no longer valid, edit Jan/2019)

    If you are quick or not, you could join my snailmail forum - link in the signature - you should be able to recognise a few names from here over there!
