Over the years I’ve used Global Penpals to find me new friends to connect with from around the world and learn about where they live, and forming lasting friendships…. I still keep in touch with one from 2015! When I was at school in the 1970s I used to have over half a dozen penpals (sourced from a specialist newsletter through the post) from all over the world. Having lost touch with them over the years I wanted to rekindle an enjoyable hobby.

I decided to create an account here based on a Reddit post I saw. It's always been on my bucket list to have a pen pal, so I don't regret my decision at all! Overall, it's been a positive experience
