It's really great I just wish free members could edit your profile more than 3 times a month. Other than that it's really great
I think this is a very good site which is clearly set out and has lots of features. I don't know what else to say
I enjoy writing letters by hand and getting to know people from other parts of the planet whom it would otherwise be practically impossible for me to meet. I’m glad this site exists.
Global Penpals has been a good experience for me. I found a great friend and penpal very quickly and we are enjoying getting letters snail mail,
This website has helped me make friends from all over the world, the rules they implement help ensure that everyone is safe!
Hello from France! I love Global Penfriends as it allows chatting, writing, sending postcards and decorated envelopes, and discovering surprises in my mailbox. I’m a tea lover, and I keep a tea journal where I record all the teas I try. I also enjoy scrapbooking. Right now, I’m making ATCs. I love flat stickers, washi tape, and so on. I’m not picky, and it’s such a pleasure to open my mailbox. Wishing everyone a joyful life! Thank you Global Penfriends
I love this website & its purpose! I have made many very sweet penpals here and enjoy the hobby. Meeting people, even without any premium memberships is super easy. Connecting over other Apps later on once one got to know each other should also be possible, to stay in contact better. (getting notifications from their messages, reacting to posts/ stories) Maybe a great alternative to add would be people being able to upload posts to their own profile to show their personality a little better.
This website is really good. I like how it checks if every user is safe and I never met a fraud here.
It's a really good site. It’s just a shame that if you don’t pay, you can only have a limited number of conversations and some features aren’t available.
Sadly have not connected with many people willing to share their life experiences or cultural differences
