I started penpaling two years ago. Gobal penfriends make finding people who have similar interest in postal mail easier :) So far, I've several friends who I connect with them through postal mail. I don't even have their social media account, it is awesome to be part of this community.
Global Penfriends is a very solid and safe site, it let me find a few good penpals. I wish there were more free credits and chatting system was more advanced but other than that, everything works pretty well
I've met so many amazing people on Global Penfriends. I've been able to exchange letters, try candy from other countries and learn so much about what it's like to live in other parts of the world
