I’ve got a 13yo girl who has been looking for a penpal from abroad. Anyone know of a good place to look for such a beast? Or better yet, if you have a c. 12-14yo daughter that’d like a penpal in Denmark, pm me here.

Actually the best place to look is a club. For instance, if the 13 year old likes a certain singing star, see if that performer has a fan club. Then you can get a pen pal from that club. At least that way they start out with something in common
