Hi everyone,

I’m Lena from Belgium, and I’m looking for people who would be willing to send me a postcard and write something on the card in their own language or dialect or alphabet.

It can be a personal message, a fragment from a book or poem, or simply something beautiful or ordinary from daily life that you want to share. I love looking at different languages (even if I don't speak them), alphabets, scripts and handwriting styles, all of them unique expressions of a certain place or culture.

If you like, I can send you a postcard from Belgium in return with something written in Flemish or even the dialect of my city, if you like 😊

Feel free to DM me if this speaks to you!

In return, I can send you a postcard from Belgium with something written in Flemish or even the dialect of my city, if you like 😊. I have lots of different themes of cards to choose from: city views, art/history/archaeology, photography, botanical, anatomical, Harry Potter, Japanese woodblock prints...

I also love beautiful stamps and always put care into the cards I send.

Feel free to DM me if you’d like to exchange addresses.

My name is Lena, I’m 45 and from Belgium. I’m looking for a few more meaningful penpal connections (snail mail only).

A little about me: I’m a lecturer and legal advisor at a university, a proud cat person, and the mother of a teenage son. I’ve been penpalling for well over 30 years and still love the magic of finding a handwritten envelope in my letterbox.

The things I love: India, books, the smell of second-hand bookstores, slow coffee mornings, languages (currently enchanted by Bengali), the arts, getting lost in cities, dark 80s music, handwritten letters and real conversations.

If you are looking for someone who writes every week, I may not be the right penpal for you. To each of my penpals I usually write around six to eight long letters per year, the kind you can sit down for with a nice cup of tea or coffee.

I’m open to Europe-based or India-based connections. Please be 30+.

And if writing the first letter feels daunting: don’t worry, I’m happy to do it!

Don't hesitate to pm if this speaks to you.
