One of my oldest interests are corresponding with penpal. The first ones I had was a girl from Australia and the other one was from Hungary.

Once a day I saw an advertise about a penpal club on New Zeeland and I joined to it. After a while I got lots of addresses to write to.

If you want someone from just a special country you can write to the daily paper or to a weekly. Addresses to them you find in libraries.
You can also make a"Friendship Book" for someone of your friends. Fill in their namne and address and sent it to some one of you penpals etc. etc. When it is full it comes with a lot of new penpals you can write to.
