Hey, this is the 1st time iv ever signed up to anything like this. Just wondered how many people use their own addresses? I'm not in the USA and was wondering if the majority of people use PO box??

I've always used my own address and I'm in the US. I honestly think you're fine using your address, but if you don't feel comfortable then a P.O. Box is fine.

Hi Lisa and welcome,

I'm in Germany and I use my home address. Never saw any reason to use a P.O.box. But if you feel you'll need one, take one.

Happy writing,

Kirsten

After doing this for a year and a half, I've always used my home address.  It's too much hassle to keep driving down to the post office to check a box.  So far, none of my pen pals have gotten out and tried to murder or rob me.

I have a PO Box. Reason is I am living traditionally currently. I don't mind having it because it's fun to go to the post office every day to see if my new pen pal has written.

The word is "transitionally," not "traditionally."

I have always used my own address. Never an issue thus far. I'm international.
