I've found great (snailmail)friends. It was easy to find likeminded people to exchange real letters with.

I have been a member since last October, but have only been using the site regularly since March. I had been home-schooled for a long time and didn't really have any friends, but here I made more! I have made internet friends here from the USA (Ohio and Tennesse), Norway, Romania, Australia, and I have sent physical (snail mail) letters to South Africa and China, and a postcard to my Norwegian friend. I like cultural keepsakes! I have no bad experience!

So far I have been enjoying my experience with Global Pen Friends. I do wish there were in-website match finder features. I also wish that the "epal" and "snail mail" member sections/tabs were functional.

Depending on who sends you “smiles” just know it takes time for them to reply so be mindful, this is a great website and ive made many freinds! Its fun making letters in the free time!! I had also wanted to do this for a travel partner or meet them in real life! I suggest this its really fun :) I remember getting so excited when i got my first mail and message
