Hey everyone!

I’m a 20-year-old girl from Belgium with a big love for all things crafty. A few years ago, I started looking for penpals from all over the world and discovered how much fun it is to make cute letters. Since then, my love for crafting has only grown stronger. I've been diving into all sorts of crafts like making postcards, creating jewelry, junk journaling, bookbinding, and more!

Recently, I heard about this website and just had to give it a try. It sounds like an amazing experience!

So, now you know why I’m here. Let me share a bit more about myself. I study classical singing and I’m on track to finish my first bachelor’s degree this year. Outside of my studies, I also sing in our university choir. It’s such an amazing group of people, and together we create a safe and joyful place for music lovers.
