Hello hello! This is my first time having a pen-pal and I’m so excited to meet new people and learn more about other humans:). I think my desire to have a pen-pal stems from the lack of third spaces we see in US cities and the social isolation that came from the pandemic. I would probably describe myself as down-to-earth, witty, and empathetic. I care deeply for animals, other humans, and the state of our global ecosystem. My hobbies include reading (romantasy/sci-fi/thriller/etc), weight lifting, cooking, gardening, forcing myself to enjoy running, and painting!
