20F American in Japan: Looking to email witchy folks, Japanese learners, writers, and artists!

EDIT: I am 25! I cannot edit the title for some reason on my phone. I’ll fix in the morning! Sorry!!!!

Hi there!

I’m Alice, a 25-year-old American woman currently living and working in Japan. With the world feeling a bit intense these days, I’m eager to connect with more like-minded people worldwide and build a network of email pen pals. Preferably looking for fellow women or non-binary pals!

A little about me: I’m quite alternative—wild makeup, tarot, crystals, and a love for learning are my things. I earned a triple degree in microbiology, Japanese, and history in college, eventually culminating in a history of Japanese science-focused history MA after. Eventually, I’d love to pursue a PhD in the history of Japanese science, but for now, I'm focused on improving my Japanese language skills. I also enjoy sci-fi writing and digital art. As for media, I’m a big fan of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun and other youkai-focused shonen manga, as well as sci-fi classics like Star Trek and Babylon 5.

If you’re learning Japanese, interested in witchcraft or paganism, or into art or writing, I’d love to connect! While I’m not always active on Reddit, I’m happy to chat over email. No rush on responses; I’m looking for a relaxed, pen-pal style exchange.

Looking forward to connecting!
