I am open to casual messages here, but I think longer emails might be better for that "pen-pal" experience. But I'm okay with either!✌️I'm here to make friends and have interesting conversations. I made an account here years ago but only recently came back. I always love talking about art and design--either video game/film design and costume design or sometimes art history, but if you want to talk about other things I would love to listen! I would like to learn Turkish, and perhaps Italian. But I am not conversational with either yet. Perhaps in a year or two!
Right now, I love interior design and I love learning about architectural movements and interior design movements. I'm currently collecting Architectural Digest issues and enjoy watching long essay videos on those topics and their history. I have recently bought a book on architectural styles of American houses, for example. I am also looking for artists similar to Edward Hopper, so if you know any (old and current) who like to paint modern cityscapes, please send me a message!
I am also taking an interest in nice clothes, but I am not any kind of fashion history or textile expert. But if you are enthusiastic about it, I think I would be a willing audience!
Other basic things: 1st gen immigrant to the US (arrived at age 6). I like taking photos! I am currently dedicated to enriching my life by paying attention to its small details and improving my more personal skills: cooking delicious food and trying new recipes, painting, and looking for interesting things to do in my city.
I'd love to learn whatever you want to share about your culture, but I'd love it if you could tell me more about your food, interesting places in your country, interesting phrases in your language, art/music, and special days/traditions! Or just what interest you have, in general.
