The profile review system should be better, it takes ages and still there are a lot of profiles without picture of description wondering around. Overall It´s good to have a platform like Global Penfriends

I learned about penpaling through tiktok, a random video about it had came up on my fyp and it interested me. I had never been good at making friends irl and always felt like I wasn’t meant to have friends. But penpaling has connected me with amazing people who I can share my interests, experiences, ideas and life with. Definitely recommend.
