I had not, up to that point, received such a unique piece of correspondence, and it sure made its mark on my personal experience.

I can’t tell why this word “hopeless romantic” can give me such a strong feeling that even kept me awaking during the nights...

Some conversations have allowed me to learn something new or interesting about the world or even about myself...

I am convinced that letters can have a very special magic for people.

I've always loved talking and finding out new things. Once I click with a certain person, the conversation will go on and on.

A minha história não possui um final tão feliz, entretanto o seu desenvolvimento não deixa de ser belo.

Mi emoziono ancora quando un amico di penna spunta fuori e non mi annoierò mai di aspettare l'arrivo delle lettere - l'emozione è più forte di quanto sia mai stata!

Everyone is much older than me, but the lessons and the love that everyone leaves behind for this little girl are really a great happiness.

Al momento ho stretto diverse amicizie in tutti i continenti, ma ho ancora molti Paesi da esplorare e gente da incontrare.

But quality takes time, so I would prefer to hear out a brutally honest person than sugarcoated conversations.

When I want to learn more about a country, I simply send letters to people from there and ask anything I can think of.

What is it like to write to a stranger? What is it like to share the same interests?
