I found 2 penfriends on this site. It's easy to navigate and I love that the site is not full with adds. Helps to use it even on my phone. The search function helps to pick a person to write to. The limit per day for non paying users is a bit annoying but I understand that globalpenfriends.com need a reason that you're joining.

Hello from France! I love Global Penfriends as it allows chatting, writing, sending postcards and decorated envelopes, and discovering surprises in my mailbox. I’m a tea lover, and I keep a tea journal where I record all the teas I try. I also enjoy scrapbooking. Right now, I’m making ATCs. I love flat stickers, washi tape, and so on. I’m not picky, and it’s such a pleasure to open my mailbox. Wishing everyone a joyful life! Thank you Global Penfriends
