Find a penfriend
Hello! I'm Adam. I'm sixteen years old and I live in London.
I'm keen on chatting with teenagers around the world using Zalo, Whatsapp or Skype. Please send me a message about yourself and your hobbies. I'm waiting to hear from you!
Sample 1:
Hi! My name is Bao and I come from Vietnam. I have been living in Ho Chi Minh city in Vietnam for more than 20 years. I live here with four members in my family. I like reading and traveling. I also like talking to everyone in the world, too. I really love London because it's a beautiful place but I have never had a chance to visit there before. Would you mind telling me about the weather and people in London? I'm so excited to know.

I'd love to know more about life in London and what you enjoy doing in your free time.
Looking forward to your reply!
Best,
