I have been an avid pen-paller since my teens - at a time when it took ages for letters to reach the other end :) But growing up into the world of internet made pen-palling more fun - so easy now to connect and interact; by profession i am a medical doctor with a public health specialization so travel comes as part of my work and is fun too....aprt from that crosswords, word games, number games like Sudoku are still favorite pass-times....
