How to locate someone

A long time ago, years before the Internet, I used to write to people from other countries. This people I met through a program called Pen Pal.

I would send them my mail address, name, languages I could talk and preferences about my pen pals. Then I would receive a list of names and address and I could start sending them letters.

I had a friend from South Africa who I met using this program but after some years I lost contact with her. Until one day I decided to locate her. Her name was unique so it was easy to search for that name on the Internet.

Now it is easy to locate a person using tools like this People Search tool. I tested it and I could find my friend again.

    It’s what I love most about the internet. I had penpals in the past, but now I can communicate instantly with people anywhere in the world.

    I love networking in forums and social sites, where I learn so much about different cultures and ways of life.
