There’s no age limit with this hobby, anyone can do it, and I love that we have people in our Bring Back Paper community of all ages.

The first way is to pop over to our Bring Back Paper Facebook group and look for a friend there.
The second is to look over on Instagram. Use the #penpalsearch or #penpalswanted hash tags, or if you’re reading this just after I post it, you’ll find that I have a pen pal search running right now.
It was only a few days ago that I popped the thread up over on Instagram, so it’s still going strong. Do pop over there if you’d like to get more pen pals or try this for the very first time.

There’s a great mixture of people commenting, as some have lots of pen pals and have done this for years, and then some are coming to try this as a new hobby. I love that!
