Do you like games? Do you like conversation? If you enjoy conversational card games such as Table Topics or We’re Not Really Strangers, we’ll be playing a similar game: Don’t Be Strangers Q&A Edition, where everyone will have a chance to answer thought-provoking questions inspired by the podcast. Welcome back to Don’t Be Strangers, a series of wholesome conversations that focuses on fighting social isolation through stories of everyday people. I’m your host XinYi, and I typically meet my co-hosts for the very first time while recording! If this sounds fun to you, please consider applying to co-host a future episode. Sign ups for our Pen Pals Club for September is due Sunday August 28th. This upcoming month, my Pen Pals Club Nudge Friend Hajar will be helping me with running an optional Kickoff Call where you’ll get to meet all the pen palers. It’ll be similar to the conversational game nights that we already do but only among the pen palers. Speaking of friends of Don’t Be Strangers, I’m looking for people to volunteer their time on this team. As I’ve grown this project from a podcast to a pen pals club to a Discord server and more, I’m realizing that I need help if I want to keep this sustainable for myself. If you’re interested in anything I’ve mentioned, all that information can be found on instagram @dontbestrangers! On the topic of pen pals, today I’m chatting with Pen Pal Central of Instagram. I felt extra honored because while she prefers to stay anonymous online, she was still interested in chatting with me and sharing her story. And naturally, because we both care about pen palling, there’s a lot of overlap in our communities. I’m ever grateful for social media because it was thanks to the power of instagram that we met. She has amazingly positive energy, and I feel like she’s exactly the right person to run an account that shares submissions of people’s bio’s in the hopes of finding pen pals. Prepare yourself for a fun conversation as we dive into topics such as… our travel styles and how they are connected to our interest in pen paling love languages and pen paling styles how she got into the world of pen paling how she started Pen Pal Central and making friends as an introvert I hope this chat fills you with as much joy as it filled me with. With that, please meet Pen Pal Central…
