Soooo I have to pause on scanning letters for a while since my printer-scanner broke (making one of the reasons why it took a while for me to get back to letter writing) but alas I’m back! Any feedback is welcome!

Hello~ Can I just ask where do you do post crossing? Do you use Facebook groups like many people or just a random site or something? I hope I could hear from you as soon as possible :) Thanks

Hello! So basically postcrossing is a site where they assign you a random member’s address. Once you have an address, it comes with a unique card number that you need to include in your mail (specifically a postcard). Once the card is received, the receiver will log it into the site so that you’ll be notified that your sent card arrived and that also means that you’re allowed to send another postcard.

Here’s the site:

https://www.postcrossing.com

If you’re into penpals, I recommend you join sendsomething.net (it’s currently down but you can check their Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/groups/sendsomething/ )

Other than that my go-to is Tumblr and just looking out for penpals.

Hi! i'm sorry to bother but do you know anyone or any sites that help match off pen pals based on likes and interests?? Sorry again I hope you have a great week!!

Hello! Sad to say my go-to sites are now down so now I only use Tumblr to look for penpals. You can check sendsomething.net if it isn’t down or their active Facebook page which is: https://m.facebook.com/groups/sendsomething/

Here are other recommended sites:

You mail internationally right? If so, I was wondering how much it costs to mail internationally. Like, say, from the USA to Britain? I've heard a lot of things. Some being that it's $20+ dollars to mail a letter and other being that 3 stamps is enough to mail a thin letter.

Hello! Yes, I mail internationally. For my mails I only send thin letters that requires one Global Forever stamp that costs $1.20 I do add another stamp for when I feel like my mail is too bulky or heavy. You can either add another Global Forever or a Forever stamp that costs 55 cents. So basically the basic rule is that if you use a Global Forever stamp , it can take any international mail. If there’s a chance you don’t have a Global Forever, you can use Forever Stamps too as long as they add up to $1.20 so prolly around three stamps.
