Description:

Do you enjoy writing letters the "old fashioned" way? Do you like to use nice stationery to write your letter? If so, this swap is made for you. The idea behind this swap is to sit down and write a nice, long letter to your partner in hopes of becoming life long friends. Your initial letter and any written there after will be in long hand. No short introductory letters please. This is for those who are serious about friendship and not the amount of letters in their mailboxes. Please tell your partner all about yourself and your family, your hobbies, interests and area where you live. Include pictures if you'd like. Again...only join if you are interested in making a friend, not a one time letter. All newbies are welcome!

So excited to do my FIRST swap... How soon do we get the info. on our partner? (Just trying to stay on top of this...) Thanks so much for coordinating this swap. Takes me back to my teen years where I wrote letters to penpals all the time... Looking forward to making a new friend!

I'm new and I don't know how to view who my partner is but it says it has been assigned someone please help! PLEASE PM me...

I will be mailing out my swap tomorrow but won't be coming back home until Tuesday. I don't know if marking something sent has anything to do with the rating or not. But it will be sent out on time.

CraftyTweetie 03/23/2010 #

Just wanted to mention that my swap went out today, 1 day late, because I had to wait for someone to take it to the post office to have it weighed. I didn't want to risk my partner having to pay any postage-due. Hope that's not a problem.

Hello. My name is Cameron and am based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I find it a bit annoying when I write a letter to someone and receive an email in reply. This group is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm completely new to swap-bot, so I'm not sure how to proceed. If you want to start exchanging letters, then send me a message and we'll go from there.

Sovan 04/18/2013 #

hii addie, Pen pal is your friend who lives far away and whom you have never seen. Its a very sweet friendship you have with a person you have never seen. You write letter to him/her and he replies back..in this letter you can share your feelings, ideas, or anything you like

Hey all, just wantin a pen pal. Long days at home, needing a hobby. I don't mind you age or gender. Not looking for a relationship, and definitely not lookin for creepy people. But i love to write. I wish sending letters was the only contact again, besides physically seeing people.

bellajessa 02/12/2014 #

Hi I am Jess from Melbourne Australia. Looking for pen friends who enjoy sharing what is happening in their life, family or neighbourhood. I'm 35 year old mum to be, currently on maternity leave. Baby boy due 3rd June. I so enjoy receiving mail (as I'm sure most here do! ) and really take the time and effort to make sure the letters and notes I send to my family and friends will bring a smile :-) I'm not sure how this site works, however I will reply to all who take the time and effort to write to me. Thanks for reading, look forward to making some new Pen Friends.

P.s. Some of my favourite things are Agatha Christie's novels and TV adaptations, taking photos, walking our dog, enjoying time with family, and currently I'm reading up on all the new things I can expect as a parent! Oh and finding bargins at garage sales and on eBay seems to have taken up my attention since finishing work lol!

iamtheonewolf 02/21/2014 #

I too am a bit confused, how does this work? I'm looking to find an elderly pen pal. I don't think anyone's grandma/ grandpa will be online to find a one but it's the only way i could think of.

FinleyC 03/ 8/2014 #

Hi!

My name is Finley, and I'm here because I would really love to swap hand-written letters back and forth with someone. I abhor emails! I literally heavy-sigh when I have to send one, or when a friend asks me to send them an email as apposed to a letter, claiming that "it's so much faster!"

In all honesty, I have no idea what I'm to do now that I've signed up, am posting, and going to send this off into cyber space in just a few, short moments. I have provided my information, but short of that, I'm lost. Do I wait for someone to choose me? Now that it is the big, bad 2014, are people still as eager to pen-out their thoughts as they were four years ago when the comments started? Should I leave a description of who I am, or would that be better left to be found out within the pages of our letters?

In short, I'm from the U.S., and I don't know whether or not that's something to brag about anymore (snicker.) I am working on my Masters program in psychology, and no, I do not psychoanalyze people for the fun of it. That's exhausting! I'm an artist, but more on that later...if there is a later! I really do need to figure this thing out! I'm 32, and I think that's all I should say for now.

Just in case no one sees this in the next month or so, I hope you all have a lovely March!

Xx, Finley.

FinleyC 03/ 8/2014 #

Okay, I think I have the gist of it. However, I have a question: is anyone actually writing LETTERS? I'm asking, because on the forum/swap page, I'm reading things like, "300 sticker swap," and "Pagan Post Card Swap." Don't misunderstand, I'm not mentioning the later because I have an issue with anyone's religious beliefs, I merely mention it because I guess I thought this site was a little more serious about the art of writing. About bringing back to life the romance (and that can be entirely platonic!) of people finding friendship and love (again, that can be platonic) in one another through words that cannot be conveyed via pixilated harshness. There is so much that we lose when we try to put ourselves into an email, that we maintain when put into a hand written letter. Does this site still offer that, or has it all gone silly and mad?!

user2637 04/ 8/2014 #

Why are people still posting on this swap?? It's from 2010 and is OVER.

emmajlrd5562 09/ 3/2014 #

navyhm2 12/11/2014 #

I miss writing to pen pals. My name is Jason and I'ma paramedic in Ft. Lauderdale. I'm looking for anyone in the world who wants to hand-write and exchange letters with me.

kateUK 01/ 1/2015 #

Today is the first of a new year. I have spent most of my life just trying to fit in but this year is all about me! I am changing my life and embracing it! I am 29years old, I think I am an old soul living in the wrong time for I love Jane Austen and the lovely nature of handwritten letters. I would like to find friends to share a journey with.

Gma 04/11/2015 #

Hi I'm new to this but it's something I've always wanted to do It has taken me a while to actually decide on it. It's like a bucket list but looking for a few pen pals from around the world I'm 51 and believe it's never too late to try something. Looking forward to finding a few new friends always Gma
