Hi everybody!

My name is Anna and I'm 25 years old. I've been using myfitnesspal for tracking calories for a little over two weeks now, and it has really changed the way I look on food. I have gotten a much deeper understanding of energy in foods. But anyways, I started reading the forums and discovered that most people here seem really nice. So now I'll try my luck.

I've always had at least 1 penpal at any time, but they have all gotten tired of writing and found other interests. During the last couple of years I haven't had anyone to write to, and I've really missed it. I've tried using penpal sites, but have only gotten in contact with really dodgy people there :)
My interests are: photography, writing, reading, exercise (weightlifting), animals, cross stitching, crochet/knitting, cooking.

I'm looking for all sorts of penpals, from all over the world, any age, but please don't be really weird ;)

Hope to hear from ya :)

Anna

    Why do you need a pen pal when you have the world wide web?

    There is something so very special with writing and reading handwritten letters. Someone has spent time to write them, and then to find a mailbox and send it. There is so much soul in a handwritten letter than in an e-mail.
    I know many prefer just sending e-mails to each other, but I like real letters much better :)

    I think now a days.. giving someone that you dont know your address is considered something you just dont do anymore... sad to say there are too many crazies out there...

    Young, female and Swedish - what's not to like? :happy:

    I think email has unfortunately consigned your love of postage to at least the sidelines of history, good luck though

    You mean sit down and actually put pen to paper? Then locate a stamp and mail it. OLD SKOOL! Sad thing is, I have no idea how much postage is and I work for the postal service.
