*If you live outside the United States and request a pen pal, you are required to be matched with a person in the United States to be in alignment with the Pen Pal Life matching service. If you have questions, please contact us. At this time we are not able to service requests from Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria and the Crimean region of Ukraine.
