Global Penfriends is such a warm and welcoming space. It makes it easy to connect with kind, creative people from all over the world, and there’s something really special about slowing down and building friendships through letters.

In my personal experience, this website is a great way to meet new people and make friends! I love the personalization feature where you can select certain circumstances for who you want to talk to. Very safe, reliable, and helpful. (I got a Penpal within a couple months!)

I enjoy using Global Penfriends. I've met gorgeous people. I feel save while using the website. It would be nice if there is an option to share electronic cards (like post cards) with penpals.
