despite being completely new to the penpal scene, i don't feel like i'm out of my depth. it's very easy to reach out to other members to just test the waters.
I thik global penfriends is a really good site. it helps you mke new online friends from around the world, and most of them are really nice, ive had an amazing experience. Though it is a bit simple, so you might want to swap numbers and talk more freely.
I've been on Global Penfriends for a couple years now because I wanted to have a penpal to write to from another country because I thought that it would be really interesting. Now, I've got an amazing friend because of this website!
