This is a fun cite to connect with others from around the world. It can be a tad overwhelming, so you need to be organized and remember what you wrote to several different people. I wish there was a way to keep track of interactions and maybe there is if you pay the membership fees.

Learn about new places and people. Good old fashioned mail. No quick chatting that ends too soon. Learn of historical places and people. Current affairs explained by friends in depth from different perspective from different countries.

This site is asking. I originally thought to try penpals to get my kids interested in it. I don't want expecting to meet my best friend on this site. And no we didn't know each other beforehand. Thank you Global Penpals!!!!
