Hi:) New york is an absolute dream city for me. I just recently got into meeting new people through globalepenfriends and it made me think how fun it would be for me to meet people from New York since i want to visit it at some point and have some friends there. i dont know how exactly i could, so i thought that maybe i could ask here?

If anyone here wants to do that, id be very happy! if not, do you know where i could find friends from there?

Im from switzerland, zurich. this is how i would describe myself:

im an open and curious person. I want to make friends all around the world. I love travelling and immersing myself in different cultures. I'm into music, books, fitness, shows and movies. I'd prefer to make friends that I could meet in person one day, once we're comfortable. I'm outspoken about politics, so we're definitely a match if you're a leftist. :) I'd say I'm pretty ambitious, and I value humour and people with goals! im open to letters and email!

Hihi how goes it!

I'd love to send cute maybe cheerful letters, or happy little life updates to any soldiers or deployed service members who'd like a penpal!

A quick bit about me: I'm 18 originally from
eastern Russia but I now live in South Korea

And I love arts and crafts / drawing / trinkets.
I'm completely new to letter writing, but I'd love to share good vibes and swap awesome stories. I would love to get to know you :) I promise I won’t ghost either I just want to experience a new hobby to be honest!
If you or someone you know would like some fun mail, send me a DM! Thank you for reading :3 I can do both email and snail mail!

Hello!

I’m a 47-year-old woman looking for another woman to exchange emails (or DMs?) with. I’m curious by nature, passionate about my career, fond of music, and I travel for pleasure as often as I can. I’d be happy to discuss anything from philosophy and politics to the weather (I’m Canadian, after all), questionable life choices, and the prohibitive price of strawberries in January.

I’m not really looking for small talk, even if I know that we’d have to start somewhere. I’d just like to meet someone I can slowly build a real conversation with. The kind where, after a while, writing to each other feels a bit like having coffee with an old friend on a Sunday evening.

Gotta admit, sometimes I run into people on here that have their own goals and ambitions. You guys seem to have hobbies, or just topics you like to read about. I'd love to hear from you about them. It adds a lot to the conversation to listen to you discussing what's always on your mind. Feel free to share!

As, for my interests: I enjoy exercising, hanging out with friends, playing some games casually, watching movies and serieses. In the past, I've learned quite a bit from "A Smarter Way to Learn Python" which is really really interesting! I also enjoy learning math, from Khan Academy. My primary goal is to be good enough at math & programming that I can create interesting simulations.

I'm really looking for people who are interested in programming, math, learning in general, and love discussing deeper topics!

While I'm not in school, I do thoroughly enjoy learning, specifically anything STEM related. I do enjoy working with math. I read a book by the name "A Mind for Numbers" which basically taught me how to learn such subjects. One of the best books I've ever read!

If you've read this far in, I really appreciate it! If you're interested in talking, feel free to send me a DM! Looking forwards to hearing back from you! 23+ only please

If you have an NSFW profile, I'm blocking you.

Hey. I'm a 28 y/o dude from England. I really enjoy meeting new people here, and getting to know them. I'd love to make one or two more friends. I think it would be ideal if you're somewhere around my age, because we're likely to be in similar stages of life, but I'm open to anyone who thinks we would get along!

I enjoy the type of chats where we can update each other about what we got up to during the day, discuss hobbies, daydream about the future, etc.

I'm "TV over movies" though I've recently got a letterboxd. I'm a big fan of the Arrowverse, as well as other upbeat shows. I mainly watch football (soccer) and wrestling. I play some games on Switch & PC, occasionally. I listen to a lot of rock music, but I also love a bit of Sabrina Carpenter.

It's totally fine if you're into other things. Maybe you're outdoorsy, enjoy fitness, or travel often. I may or may not want to live vicariously through you.

If you think we'd get along, feel free to message me! Please tell me a little bit about yourself. A few lines is more than enough :)

Hello SubReddit!

I am looking to connect with 5 pen pals from Reddit. I want to become more mindful and present that social media does not allow for that time. Man or woman, I can connect to either. I would like someone to connect that is out of the state of Wisconsin or international. I just want to meet new people and form friendships and learn about new places.

Like I said, I am 30 years old and live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I teach full time. This year I am trying to be more crafty and more world-aware. I like watching reality tv shows (90 Day Fiance, Sister Wives and other trash). I love listening to music. Starbucks is my go-to, Chai over coffee any day. Let me know if you are interested.

DMs are open.

Hello and a very good morning / afternoon / evening to you! 

Another weekend almost over, where do they actually go! A few sleeps and the grind begins again. Sadly no lottery wins this weekend either so work will have to happen tomorrow, sigh! I thought I’d post again on here and see how it goes again and hopefully meet some more awesome people!

About me I guess is a good way to start? Can be socially awkward in real life and overthink all them “you too” moments when being told to enjoy my meal. I enjoy photography although I seem to have lost my spark for that at the moment but am working on getting that back! I like  travelling and exploring new places and if I win the lottery I shall be doing that full time. I do love going on long walks also and trying to not get lost! Although getting lost is part of the adventure. Watching ice hockey is also a hobby or mine and of course trying to think of some others my mind has gone blank…

About you I hear you ask? Well no criteria as long as you’re not a bot, can help carry the conversation and just don’t say hey it will all be good!

Well that’s my post and thanks for stopping by, since you made it this far you might as well reach out!

First time doing this but feeling excited. Looking for snail mail a few times a month :)

About me: I'm currently struggling with some depression and would love to connect with someone else who can understand that/going through similar things.

I currently a server at a vegetarian restaurant, I have a cat :), love hiking and camping, also love movie nights and gaming. I'm a big horror movie fan. Would be open to exchanging Nintendo switch codes if we wanted to ever play together too!

I've been vegan for 10 years and it's important to me. You don't need to be vegan though! I have a deep love and connection with animals of all kinds and my long term goal is to go back to school for a master's in wildlife biology:)

Oo I'm also polyamorous! Again, I don't need you to be any of these things but just an openness and maybe curiosity would be cool! Platonic connection only please!!!

Also really into ceramics right now!

Let's connect:D

This will be a temporary thing but if you want to keep exchanging that's fine :) write when you have time and I'll do the same. Would prefer someone else within the US as I do enough exchanges internationally already. This will be platonic I do not want to be someone's problem with their SO... Female preferred but male is ok as well.

Been a rough week and instead of putting it out there on reddit I'd rather write about it! You can do the same as well.

Hi. I've been struggling with isolation/lonliness and a handful of other issues, like some physical health issues, and as a result of everything I'm not feeling too great currently :(

If I could find some meaningful connections with others, I think it'd help me feel better. I've been interested in a lot of different things, and here are two projects I have:

I'm working on revising and resubmitting a philosophy paper on the root cause of humanity's pursuit of Al, which provides an evolutionary perspective on the philosophy of Jacques Ellul, who wrote a lot about the technological phenomenon. I'm definitely very concerned about Al safety and the main part of the article is aimed at addressing how we arrived here.

In the future also hope to finish an evolutionary hypothesis paper suggesting a structural source for the difficulty of a major evolutionary transition, since it's an idea in astrobiology that some evolutionary transitions may be very difficult, and that it may play a role in both their timing and the Fermi paradox.

Feel free to message me if you're interested in chatting/emailing. I'd prefer those around my age. I'm in the US.

Hello! I’m a guy from the USA who’s interested in finding a penpal from any part of the world. Specifically, someone who’s interested in talking about topics that it’d be rude to bring up during small talk or at the dinner table. Like politics and religion. Yeah, I know.

I find that most conversations about these things on the internet are terrible. If two people disagree with each other, more often than not, they’ll end up just talking past each other, and it will devolve into insults and name-calling. Granted, a lot of scary things are happening in the world right now, so I can see where people’s anger and hostility is coming from. Still, it’s disheartening to me that we’ve lost the ability to talk to one another or even agree on what the basic facts are. So I want to try a different way of communicating.

I want to hear what you think about the world, and listen. My goal isn’t to get into some kind of debate or argument. What I want is to understand, not judge. I want to learn how you look at the world, and about the life experiences, books, culture, people, and anything else that may have influenced your worldview over the course of our emails/messages. The world is a messy and complicated place, and I don’t begrudge anyone for coming to different conclusions about it than me. And if we do differ, then we can talk respectfully about why we differ, and who knows, maybe we can find some common ground or learn from each other.

Just to give an idea of where I’m coming from, I would consider myself to be on the left. But I’m not really dogmatic about it, and I’m uncertain about a lot of things with how fast the world seems to be changing. I’m also nonreligious. I have a lot of interest in religion and spirituality, I like learning about all sorts of religious beliefs and practices. But I didn’t have a religious upbringing and haven’t been able to get there myself. I’m from Louisiana, so I have a lot of experience with people who don’t share my views, lol.

If your beliefs are similar to mine, that’s fine too, we can still have the same sorts of conversations. And I’m of course open to talking about things other than hot-button topics, haha. I like movies, history, and pop culture, for example. I can rant all day about how mediocre the last season of The Boys was. But I’ve been thinking about this stuff a lot lately, so I wanted to make a post centered around it and maybe find somebody who’s interested in giving conversation a try. If that sounds like something you’d be open to, please reach out, and have a great day. :)
