Back from Paris (part II)

Hey guys, I'm back today with the second and last post about my Parisian adventures.
Thank you all for your patience and for sticking around even tho I haven't been really posting anything mail related in a while, but I promise this will change in a timely matter, and will also come with a fresh and exciting news for ya all ☺

Day 3, March 15th~ 
Through the Secret Penpal Scavenger Hunt, I had the chance to meet a lot of new people, and one of these happened to live in Paris! Terah, that's her name, and I talked for a while on twitter and via email and decided that it would have been nice to meet up while we were visiting, and we agreed on March 15th.
We met outside our metro station and walked together towards Montmartre, and obviously stopped at the Sacre Coeur to enjoy the breathtaking view.

Back from Paris (part 1)

Bonjour guys! I'm finally (not that I'm completely happy about it) back in Italy from my trip to Paris. We actually came back on the 19th but I was busy catching up with Uni and re-painting my room (my stuff is currently still in boxes so if you're waiting for a letter from me, please be patient a little longer :c) that I barely had the time for anything else.
Anyway, I'm here now, and I'd like to share some snippets of my holiday with you ☺

First off, our trip didn't start with the right foot at all. Our flight was due at 2PM of the 12th, but once at the airport we were told that it had a 2 hours delay due to the snowstorm happening in Paris.
A two hours delay was a real bummer, we had a lot of stuff planned for the afternoon since we would have landed at about 5PM and had the whole afternoon free, but at least our flight wasn't cancelled as some others flights departing from the Orly Airport.
After two hours our plane wasn't ready yet.. and long story short, after 8 hours waiting at the airport, we finally left for Paris and landed safely despite the snowstorm at 10PM.

Are you looking for a penpal in Australia?

Hi guys! Today I want to introduce you to a fantastic artist from Australia who's looking for a snail mail friend :) here's her penpal ad:

"I'm Amelia from Adelaide, South Australia, and I'm 25 years old. I'm a librarian and an artist and I'm looking for a pen friend, perhaps someone who is around the same age, and has similar interests: painting, drawing, crafting, cooking, reading and dreaming. But really I'd just like to find a new friend to send and receive nice things in the mail with. If you're up for an exchange, message me on tumblr!
www.ameliabirve.tumblr.com"

So, are you looking for a creative penpal in Australia? Contact her then! Or if you don't have tumblr, feel free to send me an email and I'll get you in touch with her :)

Have a nice day,
ƒ.
