Who is Jules Penwell?

Jules Penwell is a storyteller at heart. He travels with intent — no bulky luggage set, no rigid itinerary, and no expectations of what comes next.

Each month, a handwritten letter from Jules arrives; part travelogue, part keepsake. Packed with stories of far away cities, details on history and culture, original photographs, and pocket guides to the best undiscovered gems. Enchanting, educational, and exciting for all ages. A slip of stationary and a postage-paid envelope invites you to write back -- Jules reads every reply, and you determine where he goes next.

How Does It Work?

  • Words & Wanderlust

    Jules chases curiosities — sunlit alleys, hilltop markets, quiet railway stations. With a weathered notebook and a vintage 35mm, he collects the small moments that make us human -- endless winding streets, slow steaming coffees, and late afternoons that go on forever.

  • Signed, Sealed, Delivered

    Across mountain passes, over open seas, through sleepy towns and bustling harbor post offices — Jules’ letters travel just like he does. Each envelope arrives baring the marks of a long voyage and carrying the faint scent and story of the journey it took across the globe to get to you.

  • A Conversation in Ink

    Write back to Jules on the included stationery: he reads every reply, and your words help steer his next routes and inspire the letters he sends. It’s a slow, meaningful conversation with a well-traveled penpal that reminds you of places where time doesn't race -- it breathes.
