Global Penfriends has been very helpful for finding penpals! It has a very simple way to find people similar to you and makes it very easy to contact them. The only problem is that some things cost money, which then doesn't allow many people to do certain things on the website. Besides that, it is a very good site for finding pen pals!

Its easy to make connections i wish more people would take advantage of the sent and received option so can keep track and know whether a letter is on its way or if a penpal has just backed away for what ever reason.
