This is such a cool site, well managed and I would even say needed in today's world. Its nice to have a place where I feel safe making friends from afar, especially for this art form of letters which seems to outdated to most people. Love it!

I love writing but with all the technology and fast movement I yearned for something slower, more intimate and nostalgic. I guess it's the millenial in me but i HAVE enjoyed using this platform so much and being able to connect with people all over the world. My fav thing is getting to know someone and crafting a beautiful letter for them.

This website is a great way to meet new friends, snail mail penpals, email penpals, etc. I joined to try to make some new friends before travelling overseas, and I have made some wonderful friends through this site.

I wanted to start writing to people all over the world, but I had no idea how to do it safely. GlobalPenFriends is what I found to be the most reliable site so far when finding people that are real. But it has its quirks, the site can be kinda laggy, but to be fair I use this solely on my phone. I’m sure it runs a lot more efficiently on a computer or laptop. Of course there are some accounts still on here that are questionable, but far less when compared to other platforms. I haven’t come across any “creepy” people. I recommend it for sure! I have gained a few penpals whom I write to and it’s been a lovely experience so far.

this website is great! It is super safe too! The website ensures you talk enough to your penpal so you get to know them. It also approves everyone who makes an account. Overall I think this website is a great way to communicate to people all around the world!
