In our first letter, a teacher in rural Montana explains how proud she is to see her male students openly showing affection towards one another. She also asks what we had for lunch today.

In our second letter, a Pen Pal describes a truly nightmare AirBnB experience in Atlanta, involving baby lotion and a stripper pole.

We also discuss: ventriloquism, the transformative power of leaving your comfort zone, the name “Lester,” why you don’t go downstairs, and more.

We wish you well, sincerely,

Your Pen Pals Daniel Van Kirk & Rory Scovel
