Hello everyone, just signed up for the forum and thought I'd say hi! My name is Maren, im 40yrs and from Germany. I've been an admirer of paper and stationery as long as I can remember but only recently (re-)discovered how beautiful it is tomwrite with a fountain pen. I thinking haven't had touched one since I finished Uni 15 years ago... such a shame! I'm not a collector and I don't own anything special or expensive. Just 3 Lamy (Safari /AL star / LX) and a Kaweco Sport. I ordered a bunch of ink samples to find out which colors I like to write with and how different inks "feel". So much fun trying them! As for what I'm writing: I have a Moleskine planner, a notebook for lists, tracking things, notes etc. I like to write Journaling prompts to improve my writing skills and practise handwriting. And I'd love to correspondent with one or two pen & ink lovers from any part in the world (will have a look into the pen pal section of the forum!)
