Writing to a penpal can be great fun, not to mention receiving lots of letters in return. You could also make a friend for life. Here’s what to do:

1.    Decide where you want your pen pal to be from, how old you want them to be, whether you want a male or female pen pal and so on. It’s best to be flexible on terms of locations and stick to someone only two years older or younger than you.

2.    Go to Google (or any other search website) to join and write to a few local magazines or newspapers. On most pen pal websites, you have to create an account on a site before you can start finding friends. 

3.    On most pen pal websites you can make your own profile. When you have activated your account, it’s time to set up your own profile which other pen pals can see. Designing your profile in a good manner plays a key role in getting new pen pals.

4.    Read about some of other people looking for pen pals to see if there are any you might like to write. Most pen pal sites have many search options. You can await responses on your profile or you can use the search function on Pen pal Global.

5.    When you find someone you like, check the magazine and website guidelines to find out how to make contact. On most websites you can add pen pals as friends or send them a message. 

6.    Make your initial contact short, light, and friendly.
