Hello!

My name is Emma and I'm a 20 year old uni student living in Australia. I’m currently studying to be a primary school teacher. I absolutely love animals and I have a gorgeous Maltise Shih Tzu dog named Jazzi (who will eat/destroy ANYTHING!)

I hope to travel the world someday, but until then letters and postcards are an excellent way to gain insight into different countries and cultures. I absolutley adore snail mail - there's just something so exciting about sending and receiving letters! I have been a member of Postcrossing for a while now but would love to participate in more direct swaps and potentially gain some Pen pal friendships around the world.

Polaroid pictures

If you own a Polaroid camera, I would love to receive a picture of yourself, your pet, your area or just something that makes you smile! I plan to make a collage out of these and the postcards that I collect 😊

Some writing inspiration...
