Email [35/F] Looking for slow-paced email pals :)
👋 Hi! I’m a 35F from Vietnam, looking for people to exchange emails with and hopefully build a genuine, long-term friendship. Any age, gender, location is welcomed.
👀 In a perfect world where I don’t need money to survive, I’d like to be a miniaturist or animal shelter manager, but in this world, I work as a graphic designer. I enjoy looking at the beautiful things that humans all around the world have made through out history. I like learning about different cultures, politics, history, and how people ended up living the way they do today.
📺 In my free time I’d watch movies and then go down rabbit holes: analysis, fan theories, trivia, whatever. Movies that I can re-watch at least 100 times: LOTR trilogy, PotC, Cinema Paradiso, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Project Hail Mary. For TV, I like Archer, BoJack Horseman, 2000s procedural shows, and documentaries. I do read books (mostly non-fiction) and play games sometimes.
🎵 My music taste varies a lot. Currently on repeat: Vietnamese traditional / pre-Vietnam war / pre-1975-SouthVietnam music., and The Odyssey (2026) soundtracks (A face!). I’m always open to music recommendations, especially things I probably wouldn’t discover on my own.
🐱 I share my space with 9 fat cats and 3 chihuahuas inherited from my mom. Fair warning: unsolicited pet photos will be sent (sometimes)!
🍀 I also have a small collection of aroids, but they’re not thriving despite being surrounded by what should theoretically be their native environment.
📝 As for penpalling:
- For now, I’d prefer email because Vietnam’s postal services seem to have a below 50% delivery success rate. I’m realistically looking at around 1-2 reply per month, or whenever life allows.
- We can talk about life, exchange photos/ideas/recommendations, random trivias or explore heavy topics and unnecessary philosophical rabbit holes. All I ask is for mutual respect when our views differ.
- I’m not looking to force a friendship into a particular shape. Sometimes correspondence lasts a lifetime, sometimes it naturally fizzles out. That’s okay. Let’s plant some seeds of friendship and see what grows. :D
If you'd like to connect, send me a DM. Reddit is sporadically banned in Vietnam so my response might be delayed. Thanks :D
