After reading The Correspondent, (amazing book) I decided I wanted a real life pen pal. I live near the Smoky Mountains and enjoy short hikes, good books (both printed and audible), and time with friends. I'm easy going, appreciate a good laugh, and value meaningful conversation. I would love to connect with someone — perhaps in the U.S., Ireland, Scotland, or anywhere — who enjoys thoughtful, handwritten letters and is interested in building a genuine, long-term friendship. Let’s bring back the art of letter writing together!
