I think most of us have probably had a penpal at one time or another. I started writing to my first penpal at around the age of ten. I can thank my mom for that since she volunteered with a man who was known for getting penpals together. My first penpal, a girl, was from The Philippines and I can remember being excited to be able to write to someone in another country.
Yes! I still write letters though have taken breaks. I have kept the letters I received, though my early ones, I cut the stamps out of the envelopes. Stamp collecting is another thing too, though I'm not an organised collector. Do save the stamps, be it for yourself/family/friends who are philatelists, or for charities that can sell them on to raise funds (e.g. Oxfam, disease research & support charities...)
