What our members say

I appreciate the new safety features, however I do wish you could access you whole mailbox without credits but I understand that's how the money is made I suppose. I did buy access and snail mail credits and now I'm content with the number of pen pals I have. This has been a wonderful resource for me in connecting to people around the world safely, without the vanity of "social media" & everything that comes with that. Here, it's simply about making friends via the messaging first and then once getting to know them better, exchanging postal addresses & emails etc. I find being able to record pen friend's postal addresses and update mail status is very helpful. Thank you for being an option for pen palling!

AMAZING site, it allowed me to meet new people and discover a new hobby which is writing letters and penpaling in general, the feeling of getting a message with gifts, bracelets, photos from a person from the other side of the world is just magical.

Penpal-ing and making friends are my favorite things to do. I still remember the first letter I had ever sent and ever received, it was the best feeling in the world. Without Global Penfriends, none of that would have been possible. So thank you GP, for making this experience memorable, fun, and safe.
