Looking for new penfriends? This is the swap for you :)

Each person must hand write or type a letter to their assigned partners introducing themselves & post via snail mail / postal mail.

Please take the time to reply to all penpal letters that you receive. After this you may end your penpal relationship at any time, but please let your swap partner/new penfriend know that you no longer want to continue the penpal relationship so they are not left wondering if you received their last letter.

The age limit has been added so that swap partners have more of a chance of finding a penfriend with similar interests or with children of similar ages.

Newbies welcome with a filled out profile :)

Is there an age limit?

I just noticed the age, sorry. Senior moment I had, lol

Hi, this is my first swap I have signed up to so I hope I get it right :)

Ah too bad there are age limits. I have lots of pen pals who are in different generations (and countries, cultures etc) and find it great enjoyment. Celebrate diversity! We can learn from everyone and who knows what lives we ourselves will enrich?

Cheers and happy pen palling to all!

doesnt the age limit put limits on who can join....i too have pen pals older and younger than I am...and I enjoy them all...

I think the age limit is a brillient idea. i love joining in these penpal swaps, but do find myself running out of what to say when i get partnered with someone who is in their 50's or 60's and im in my 20's. :o) great swap idea will look forward to it

I'm a little sad to see an age limit. I'm over it by 2 years but still find I have more in common with 20 somethings than with 60 somethings. : ( maybe the next one.

Hey, I'm nineteen but I will be twenty on September 24th. I've missed the limit by literally a month. Is there any leeway? x

I like the age limit because I tend to have more in common with people around my age at the moment. If someone is in a diff age group I'm sure it'd be alright with the host if you created your own penpal swap with a diff age range :)

I like the age limit too :)

Hi Cloudsdreamdisorder, yes you are welcome to join :)

The reason I've put the age limit on this swap is because I'm really looking for some new penpals that i have something in common with. I am a SAHM with a toddler and a newborn and in the last penpal swap that I did I was paired up with all ladies in their 60's and found it really difficult to enjoy reading their letters about the weather and they didn't seem to really like hearing about my children or day to day life and didn't respond to things I had written about in my letters. Just seemed like we were writing for the sake of it and really had nothing in common to share. I'm sorry if this offends some people, but sometimes we just want to make friends with people who can relate to what's happening in our lives at the moment & share common interests.

Yay! Thankyou! x

I am sorry I joined this swap without a filled out profile so I just filled out and would like to join again~ I hope I get it right this time:D

@cloudsdreamdisorder - My older brother has the exact same birthday as you! Only he's like 25 :p.. just though that was cool, hehe.
