I really like receiving REAL letters in the mail, but now I guess it's been a few years... Sometimes I get the random postcard, but that's about it :/ I used to have loads of penpals when I was around 10-14 years old, but it got a bit...

When I was about 12, our English teacher at school suggested we'd got a penpal to practise the language. I loved the idea and got the address of a girl from Australia, my dream land. That's how it all began... over 20 years later, I'm...

My biggest pet peeve!!! I mostly hate the penpal collectors! Well hate is too strong a word, but for the lack of a better one I shall use it... After browsing databases and networks for penpals I think there's a lot of them! And the...

I had couple of penpals when I was a kid, but then it all died out. Many years later (I'm 25 now) I decided for some reason to take on some snail mail writing again. I have no idea how this thought came to my mind and why then. So now I...

I responded to my first prison penpal the other day. I recommend that others also make prison penpals. These people are lonely and need someone to talk to.
