For anyone with Long-Distance Friends

I recently discovered an app called Letterloop and set one up for all my friends. We’re currently scattered across Melbourne, the Gold Coast, London, Scotland, Canada, and even travelling through South America and Africa—so staying in touch can be a real mission.

Letterloop creates a private newsletter for your friends or family. Each issue comes with a set of base questions, and everyone can add their own if they want to mix it up.

My friends and I get our newsletter delivered every fortnight, but you can set it to whatever rhythm suits your crew.

And honestly? It’s been such a refreshing way to ditch the social-media scroll while still staying connected. It’s like a little bundle of updates, laughs, and life snippets landing in your inbox—proof that even when everyone’s spread across the globe, the group chat energy can still live on. ✨
