Hello everyone! My name is Riley. Im 19 and from Los Angeles, California on the West Coast of U.S.A. Swapping letters and postcards with everyone from around the world helps me gain personal insight about the people inhabiting the planet and their own unique culture. I am a very creative person, I love making friends and I am extremely easy to talk to. We learn from each other. We are all more alike than different, so why not make as many friends as we can!

One of my favorite things to do is create. I enjoy painting, crocheting, ceramics, drawing, and gardening. I appreciate all forms of artwork. I grow many Succulents, their geometry inspires me. I base my own art pieces almost entirely around fruit, trees, flowers, vegetables and the natural world.

For many years I have filled my home with Antiques that remind me of the beautiful times we had in the past. I search for postcards from 100 years ago because they illustrate how simple life used to be. They span from 1890 - 1970. I love Milk glass, Colored Glass, Porcelain, Madame Alexander Dolls and a massive collection of clown figurines and dolls.

My love for History has driven me to study family history. I have been studying Genealogy for 6 years and am interested in how all of our ancestors lived their lives. I encourage my friends to learn as much as they can about their uniqueness so we can slowly build a greater world of understanding. I spend the majority of my free time documenting my genetic past and studying antiquities along with Historical events.

Music is a passion that guides my life. I enjoy albums from bands such as Queen, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Cage the Elephant, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Journey, Supertramp, CCR, Styx, Jimmy Hendrix, AC/DC, Santana, Van Halen and so many more

I have two dogs, A Mini Schnauzer named Dory we adopted a couple years ago and a Mini Poodle named Luna.
I have outside cats, Phoenix is a Siamese and Pico is an Orange Tabby.

On my favorites wall are postcards similar to the ones I want to see in my mailbox.
