I´ve already found some very good penfriends on Global Penfriends and hope to find a few more. Letter writing is an excellent way to get friends all over the world.
I've found many nice people here who now have becoming my good friends. it's an awesome site that allows people from all over the world with similar interests to meet and it does helping me to gain my English skill :)
I have about 16 penfriends across the globe. Meeting Ellen when she visits later this month. Great for friendship, cultural exchange Has become my semi retirement hobby. Different relationships with different friends but all just so good for someone who loves to write and talk.
