There is nothing better then taking the time to put thoughts to paper with a pen, sharing deep thoughts, refections, stories...your life with new found friends from around the globe. For me, cultural history is so interesting, languages and just the simple every day of someone's world. THIS was the reason I joined and Global Penfriends.
