I love global penfriends. I wanted to make new friends across the world and this website has been a blessing. The communication feels safe because of the vetting. I have made a best friend from another country and am so thankful for this website.
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!
