Pen pals

I love letter writing. Proper letters, not emails.
Do pen pals that write still exist? Does anyone still do this? Finally, how did you go about finding a pen pal or several?

I have a penpal. We have been writing to each other for 15 years now. I love getting 'happy post' as I call it. We met through a penpal community on livejournal (livejournal was really popular back then!).

Yes! That’s what I call it. Happy post.
Lovely to hear someone does this. Sounds like a long and happy friendship.

Look for UK happy mail groups on Facebook there's several out there! There's even a international snack swap happy mail group.

Thank you. Exactly the sort of advice I’m looking for.
