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.

I started using Global Pen Friends in 2020, then took a break for some time. Now I am back, and I’m really happy I returned. The site is warm and friendly, and I have met kind people and made real friendships. It feels nice to connect with others from different countries and share stories.
