I'm a 34 year old poet, librarian and mother from Australia. I live with my boyfriend Tim, 6yr old Luka and 8yr old Cha in a little flat in a suburb of Melbourne.

I've been penpalling for 20 years now (I still correspond with the first penpal I got when I was 14). I love getting mail, hearing from other countries and other lives - and like most penpals I'm a stationery addict :)

I will always send my swaps - if you don't receive yours, contact me and I will quickly resend!
