About me

Hi there!

Me in 1991


I'm Laura, 29, working as a shop assistant and from time to time as a language teacher for German and Spanish. I live in the 3rd biggest city of Finland with my husband and our son (born 11/2017).

I've been penpalling since I was about 5 years old, so letters have been a part of my life since... forever. I can not imagine a life without receiving and sending those pieces of paper with lots of words. I started my collection of postcards around that time, too, and have been a Postcrossing member since 2006. I also was a member of the board of Finnish Postcrossing Friends (reg.) from 2015 to 2017. Right now I am doing hobby advising for the association.

I love all things beautiful.

My other ♥  -things: coffee, reading, lazy mornings, flea markets, baking, collecting, foreign languages, TV-series, music, bullet journaling, blogging, cleaning, room plants, Finnish design, old things, 'wool socks

Looking for a penpal?

I have always written with lots of people and rarely say no if someone asks for penfriendship. However, I wish you'll be willing to write me first if you ask me to start correspondence.

Update 5/2016: Right now I am not accepting new pals (except for anyone from a Spanish-speaking country in South America). Thank you for your understanding.

I write my letters in Finnish, English, German and Spanish. I can read French and Swedish quite well but am not educated enough to reply in those languages.

Always looking for Spanish-speaking pals living in South America!
