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!!!!

This site is really cool, and i've gotten to talk with so many people from all around the world! I even picked up another language with a help of a pen pal. The cute little gifts and stickers ive gotten are the best! I spend a lot of time on here, just talking with pen pals about life in general. 100% recommend to anyone who wants to try pen paling for the first time!
