I have always liked writing letters as a kid and now as a grown up I am working at the Austrian Post in the office. I'm finding out cool things about the postal system in my job and have phases where I just want to write a lot of letters. That's why I'm here ;) I have one very close pen pal in Berlin with whom I send a sketching book back and forth. Besides that I just write letters to friends and family living further away.

I studied spatial planning in Austria and take much interest in cities, their structures, transportation, spatial analysis and maps. So feel free to tell me something about the place you're from!

In my free time I am reading, crafting, sewing, learning polish and the piano. I also dance Lindy Hop and Collegiate Shag and I'm kind of into 1920s.

I promise to be patient with the mail. If I haven't rated you, please ask if I didn't get anything - if so, I will tell my colleague at work who is responsible for quality monitoring for international mail ;) In reverse, if you didn't get anything from me, please text me. I will try to resend if it got lost.

Always the book I'm currently reading and the last few: Rückwärts Walzer, The Paying Guests, Recipe for a perfect wife, The talented Mr Ripley,... And my all time favourite: Harry Potter. I don't read it so often anymore, but if I do, it feels like coming home.
