There’s a few people keeping the practice alive, like Global Penfriends and etc. I don’t know how many choose to use snail mail for it, but I know of people who for various reason enjoy physical correspondence. Probably most pen pals are using email these days – although that’s getting a little archaic now, too!
I have elderly relatives an ocean away from me and they absolutely refuse to text, so we talk via email. It’s kind of like having a pen pal, sort of.
Does anyone know someone with a pen pal? It’s a nice idea and I remember doing it in elementary school, but who has the time?
There’s an app that sort of emulates having a pen pal, if you’re interested. It’s called Slowly, I think
It’s a great app too. I’ve made some good friends through it.
