Name: Alex

Age: 17

Country: United States

Country of Pen Pal: I don't care.

Music: Siouxsie and the Banshees, Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Beatles, KT Tunstall, Tegan and Sara, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Hole, No Doubt, Amy Winehouse, etc.

Hobbies: Writing, drawing, reading, singing, watching movies, learning Japanese, etc.

Describe yourself: I'm a senior in high school with a dry sense of humor, and will be graduating this May. I speak Japanese somewhat fluently, and I'm currently taking a Level Four class. I'm also Agnostic, a Feminist, and an Anarchist.

Other: If you want to learn more, just ask me.

Letter writing experience: I write mainly write poetry or essays, but I've also wrote plenty of letters in my spare time to various people including: my current boyfriend, friends, family, teachers, strangers, famous figures (both living and deceased), and people that don't even exist outside of my mind.

Name: Kristen.

Age: Nineteen.

Country: States

Country of Pen Pal: I don't have a particular preference.

Music: I like all sorts, which may be the most cliched thing ever said. Bob Marley is one of my favorites. I'm practically obsessed with Pierce the Veil & A Skylit Drive (& pretty much every band of that same genre). I like The Beatles & Lynyrd Skynyrd (my dad drilled them into my head as a kid :p). Bright Eyes are a classic. I'm just a bit of this and a bit of that. It all sounds good.

Hobbies: Eh, does the internet count...I guess I like to hang out and get drunk with my hoodrat friends. ha

Describe yourself: I'm social awkward and suffer from social anxiety. Well, not officially but, I feel like I could claim I have some sort of disorder. I'm a full blooded Apache, which I think makes me a bit cooler than your average socially awkward kid. I listen to a lot of music & spend the majority of my life on tumblr. I have friends and we're all awkward together, it's rather sad actually. I've been known to be rather sarcastic, which is a trait I hold dear. Well, I don't know what else to say...

Other: I'm just a weird college kid. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. That one kid on a college campus that just doesn't seem to fit in with all the sorority girls & fraternity boys.

Letter writing experience: (optional) Example: I've never written a personal letter in my life, so this should be interesting.

think i'm interesting (even in a weird way), send me a message & we'll get this snail mail thing goin' :)

Other: Strange things happen to me on a daily basis. Straaaaaange things.

Name: Ione
Age: 18
Country: USA

Describe Yourself: I like to dream. A lot.
Letter Writing Experience: I had a pen-pal or two once upon a time.

I wish more people would post on here /:

Describe yourself: I am funny, can be shy, quirky, sarcastic, I suffer from depression, I guess I am one of a kind, fun, I won't say lovable because there are people that hate me, misunderstood most of the time.

Other: I love making new friends from anywhere in the world. I already have a friend in Colorado and she's awesome. I also love learning about the different cultures [especially the Italian and German] and religions. I am not judgemental so I am pretty open minded to learning new things.

Hobbies: Doctor Who, politics, philosophy, poetry, psychology (<3), literature, art, video games...

Describe yourself: I'm not normal since I accept my normality. I'm in university at the moment which is better than it used to be. I'm interested in most things and thrive on the Quite interesting. I also love tea.

Other: I don't really want to write to someone too young. It's nothing against you but it...would just make my life easier since a lot of the things I am interested in is...a bit grown up.

I also have doodles in my letters. Sometimes weird fragments of stuff which may not make sense.

Letter writing experience: I have had a couple but I am trying to get back into writing and stuff.

Interested? PM me.

Name: Thivya

Age: 18 going on 19 next month

Country: England

Country of Pen Pal: anywhere, I don't mind.

Music: MCR, Fallout Boy, The Rasmus, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Nightwish, Apocalyptica, 30 Seconds to Mars, Mumford & Sons, Laura Marling, Shakira, Beyonce, Ke$ha,

Hobbies: listening to music, trying to learn Spanish, reading, writing, drawing, painting, watching Sherlock, NCIS, Numb3rs, Junior Doctors, daydreaming, enjoying nature, travelling by train, daydreaming about riding a motorbike, talking to friends, being outdoors in the summer doing anything (gardening, running, cycling, rowing, walking, climbing trees), trying to persuade my Mum to buy me a dog, scheming world domination.

Describe yourself: I will probably seem quite quiet (but hopefully, as a penpal, it won't be as obvious!) but after getting comfortable with someone, I am totally cool. I think I'm quite quirky and have some strange habits but they're strange in a funny way...not in a weird way. I am currently in University studying Medicine which is quite hectic at the moment (don't ask me to diagnose you because I'm only in first year!) but I cannot wait until the summer. In fact, the only thing getting me through this exam period is the hope of an epic summer!

Other: I am a lover of mankind which probably explains why I am studying to be a doctor. I have a little sister and we drive each other crazy. Nevertheless, I get along amazingly well with her. I live in the country and my ultimate dream is to be an anaesthetist and live in the countryside surrounded by animals and greenery.

Letter writing experience: I used to write to my best friends as soon as I moved school...12 years ago. But haven't written to them for about 5 years since Facebook happened. :( Nevertheless, I still write postcards to my friends when I go on holiday.

Name: Hayley :)
Age: Almost 18
Country: Canada
Country of Pen Pal: Doesn't matter much, just give me a little bit of time to buy stamps. :)
Music: This varies! I'm into My Chemical Romance and Marianas Trench, and recently I've been getting into Panic(!) at the Disco. I'll listen to nearly anything, depending on my mood - I like rock and classical and country all sorts of things. I don't love rap too much, simply because I prefer singing to speaking quickly, but I don't hate it either. :)
Hobbies: I like to amuse myself with anything artsy, even if I suck at it. I draw poorly, but I think I write fairly well, and I'm not bad at scrapbooking, either. I try to teach myself piano, but it's slow-going. :P Mostly my hobbies are slightly antisocial, because they're things I do alone, but I'm really very friendly.
Describe yourself: I think my biggest identifier would probably be 'nerd' or 'Nerdfighter,' to be more specific. I'm a jump-up-and-down-in-your-seat-with-excitement kind of person, and I'm very, very passionate about the things I care about. I try my best to make a positive impact on the lives of other people; I like to volunteer in hospitals or in schools, and I do work with Free the Children when I'm able. Also, I'm bad at writing descriptions.
Other: I like writing physical letters most, but at the moment I'm dirt broke, so I can only take on one or two Pals at a time. I'm down for e-mail penpals any time, though! Just send me a message!
Writing experience: I've had four proper pen-pals in my life, three of whom were my friends previously. The fourth was an exchange student I wrote to before she came to my home in 2009. :)

PM me for anything at all. I love letter-writing more than most things.

Hobbies: I do photography, I write, I sing, I play a couple of instruments and I ride horses. Which all sounds pretty boring! I'm not as boring as I sound though.

Describe yourself: I was quite scared to put my information in just in case no one replied to me or something embarrassing like that, but I've sucked it up and I'm doing it. :) I'm, like I said earlier, 17 years old, I'm in my last year of school before I go become a teacher/photographer. I have a tonne of interests and I'm accepting of everything and everyone and willing to talk about almost any subject. :) If you want to find out more pm me. :)

Other: I'm tall for a girl, I have two best friends and we get called 'The Three Musketeers' and I'm nice! :)

Letter writing experience: I've had a couple of different pen pals but moved around a bit so couldn't keep up with them unfortunately. :( Hopefully this time round it'll be different. :)
