I've had a pretty good experience and found a couple of dedicated pen pals. I'll keep using it to connect with my friends from long distances, it's fun to share our culture's with each other and bond over similar interests.
It's a nice website, and better than any other pen pal website that I've come across. Very easy to filter who can contact you and there are plenty of people active on the site. There are so many filters on the search which is awesome and makes finding the right people much easier. There are so many people with different backgrounds though so definitely worth a try :)
i was sceptical when i first joined global pen friends, but i've found eight pencils around the world to send letters, stickers, and photocards to. it's become the highlight of my week, and i might even meet up with a penpal that i met on here at the bts concert in may!
