Couchsurfing wasn’t made specifically to find a pen-pal, however, there’s a forum called “Pen-Pals” in which people from all over the world can post a thread, pretty much specifying that they’re looking for a pen-pal between certain ages and nationalities, and sometimes a reason why. (Someone from France is looking for friends in the States or England, because he or she is learning English and would like to practice). this is where I found my first pen-pal from England, Saudi-Arabia and Trinidad.
