Hi, I'm Lostfire -originally from NH, USA now living in Canada. I've been collecting on and off since I was a kid thanks to
my dad's parents. I really got into it more then 10 years ago when a friend reintroduced me to it. I moved away from her
now (10 years ago) we tried to keep it up by mail but its just not the same. I'm slowly starting to get back into it now.
Mainly Canadian, U.S > but will trade for Luxembourg (family there), Sloveina (interested), and occasionally Denmark (first pen pal was from there umpteen years ago).
Thank you for this group

Hi, no sadly we wrote from age 13-21 then she just stopped-no explanation -but cards I sent on her birthday were
never returned so I don't know what happened. My pen pal from Slovenia has more or less turned into pen family

We've been writing since 2000. I've "watched/am watching" her kids growing up as she is with my son.

We've been writing since 2000. I've "watched/am watching" her kids growing up as she is with my son.

I stopped writing at about 15-16 without explanation to my overseas penpals. I think life was getting in the way - revision, exams, schoolfriends and that. Also, correspondence after school slowed and stopped - university, boyfriends (I've heard stories of boyfriends getting jealous of penfriends and put their foot down = penfriendship over)....

Did you hear the joke about the unstamped letter? You wouldn't get it.
