Hi! My name is Aliya, and this is my first time pen-palling! I want to try it out this year because I love to write, and I'm interested in meeting people from different parts of the world in a creative manner. My university workload leaves little time for lots of hobbies, but when I'm free I enjoy lifting, watching movies (I love ones that make me cry), reading books, attending concerts, and exploring new areas with my friends. I like to take photos of all the places I visit and scrapbook them. I love learning and am always seeking new experiences— I will try anything at least once! :)
