Is there anything- but anything- more depressing than being ditched by invisible people, I mean seriously?

How to find a pen pal
It made me
Intrigued
 "It was great to find someone half way around the world that has so much in common with me, and continues to write!"
How I did it: I went to Penpal International and searched profiles for people who had similar interests as me. I met a friend for life who lives in Australia. We have a lot in common, and she even introduced me to blogging. We have exchanged emails, postcards and parcels. It has only been a few months, but it seems like a lot longer. I feel very lucky to have found such a cool friend in such a random way! Lessons & tips: Keep an open mind about what kind of person you want to meet. Resources: Internet, Penpal International

How I did it: I used the website that another entry on this website mentioned, Penpal International (ppi.searchy.net). Made a profile, and looked through other people's profiles. I ended up getting a message from a girl in Spain and we decided to be snail mail penpals! She sent the first letter, but it got lost in the mail. So she sent a second one, and I finally received it this week! I was excited and already I think… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I do Postcrossing so I get the opportunity to send postcards to a lot of different people all around the world.

I usually asked these people if they'd like to pen pal, and I also wrote that I would like to find pen pals on my own profile. Well, it took a while with some people agreeing to write but never doing it, but I did get the three pen pals I was seeking to c… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Well, I made a comment on this goal and someone responded... She asked me if I wanted to email or snail mail and I suggested snail mail because it's more fun to get a letter... We're definately not hard core about writing each other weekly or anything but we've kept in touch for quite a few months now and we've gotten to know each other... it's fun and I'd be willing to have another if someone is interested...

How I did it: Simply go to penpal website offered to your age group (students have the best sites available) and set up a profile. Within two days of being on the studentsoftheworld.info site I had e-ails from people all over the world wanting to be my penpal. Make sure you feel comfortable with who you send too but other than that have fun! I now have penpals in South Africa, France, Germany and Finland! Read how I did it…

Based on someone’s posted suggestion, I signed up for Pen Pal International and now I’m waiting to see if I get any response. I will probably give it a week or so and then I’ll start reaching out myself. I’m hoping to find a Spanish speaking pen pal so that I can improve my Spanish and maybe in turn, help them improve their English. Either way, I’m very excited!

I looked at someone who completed this goal and he said to go to penpal internatioanl, a website, so I did.
Now, I have an account and an ad. I’m gonna wait and see if anyone finds me in the next week. If not, I will send someone a message asking if they would like to be penpals :)
