Travels
I love travel. Even long before I stated exploring the world, I was reading all about them – and even making pen friends from different parts of the planet. Just to learn all about different countries and cultures.

Hi Shai, just perusing your blog… very interesting and nice design, too!
It was lovely to meet you at the #SOCADL lunch on Friday.
You mention above that you have delved into the world of penfriends; I have been an avid penpaller for three-quarters of my life, since I was 11 and to this day, I have 10 long-time pals who I am pleased to call my very best friends (plus 3 new pals that I met online via Interpals 2 years ago)!
Like yourself, I’ve always loved learning about different countries and cultures, however I have yet to undertake any travels of my own… maybe one day, hmm…???
Keep well,
Regards,
Denise Marron

Thanks, Denise! It was lovely to meet you too… Thanks so much for all the kind words and taking the time to connect with me online. Really appreciate it! Sounds like we’ve got letter writing as a common interest. Good to know you’re still at it!
I hope you do get the chance to fulfill your travel dreams too.
