I've been on this platform for over a year. I like to communicate and get to know people from different parts of the world... You never know who might text you tomorrow or who you'll make friends with. It really broadens your horizons. It's a great way to see the wider world even from home.

I joined Global PE Friends mainly to find snail mail penpals, and it’s honestly been such a cool experience. I’ve already connected with a few people from different countries, and it’s been fun getting real letters in the mail again. Everyone’s super friendly and open, and I love how easy it is to find people with similar interests. If you’re into old-school penpalling and want to meet people around the world, definitely give it a try.

I have found great connections on this site. I didn't give 5 stars only because the entire site is not provided free - there are upgrade options that i don't like.
