WHAT IS A PENPAL?
A penpal is someone with whom one corresponds regularly through letters “Snail Mail”, often from different geographical locations or cultures. This exchange usually originates from a desire to learn about another person's life, interests, and experiences, fostering a deeper understanding of different perspectives.
The relationship can vary from casual acquaintanceship to deep friendships, as individuals share thoughts, experiences, and stories from their daily lives.
