Hi! I've never had a penpal before but want to make connections/friendships with new people. I'm very introverted and a bit of a homebody. I'm a grad student who studies invasive species (specifically a type of invasive shrimp in the Great Lakes) and really enjoy biology/ecology/science. I love reading (specifically historical fiction) and really enjoy going to museums when travelling. I cross-stitch, and enjoy casual hikes/bike rides. I love music- my favorite genres are jazz, folk, pop, and music from different decades. I enjoy movies and TV shows (I love sitcoms and medical dramas like ER).
