Hey guys! My name is Hannah, I'm 20 years old and live in a small country town in Australia! I have been an obsessive pen paller for just over six months now and would like to expand this hobby by doing more than just your average letter swaps!

I have heard a lot about Swap Bot from my American pen pals and after browsing through the site, I've noticed a lot of these swaps are just for people from the US, so I hope living so far away won't be a disadvantage!

My favourite colour is purple, I collect salt & pepper shakers, I'm obsessed with owls, addicted to tea, I'm a stationery hoarder and work full time at a department store.

I live with my fiancé & we are planning on getting married in October this year!

I approach my pen palling/swapping with an attitude taken from the saying "Treat others the way you wish to be treated" - I try to be as fair as I can, so if you send me a package, I will send one back. Or if you send me a multi-paged letter, I'll do the same. But if you send me scrappy, half paged letters, don't expect anything exciting in return!

I offer just regular mail exchanges, small package swaps (I don't do this often due to financial stress), postcard exchanges and stationery swaps!

I am usually extremely quick to respond, but if my life gets busy, I make sure I fill you in! There's nothing worse than wondering whether or not a pen pal has forgotten you!

I have a private Facebook group where I add my pen pals, an Instagram account devoted to my pen palling, a Tumblr for my pen pals, a YouTube channel & a blog.

If you would like to check any of these out, here's the details:

I am happy with what ever people send me but what gets me really excited is stuff I can actually use! ie Writing sheets, envelopes, Washi/Deco tapes

I also love it when my artistic pen pals send me samples of their work!

Oh and as always, getting postcards is just amazing!

SHIPPING CAN TAKE AT LEAST TWO WEEKS BETWEEN AUSTRALIA AND OVERSEAS - ESPECIALLY THE US & SOUTH AMERICA - PLEASE BE PATIENT AND IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE WHEREABOUTS OF YOUR SWAP, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE BEFORE SENDING A RATING!
