Global pen friends has been a very good website. It is very safe to use and I’ve met so many people from all over the world who are so cool! Even when I take a break from the site I can come back like I never left

Found by accident. Positive experience overall. It is a little hit & miss, but made great friends...

I absolutely love using this site to make penpals and friends! I have met some amazing people here and have sent several letters. If you are hesitant on getting started, don't! I'll be using this for the rest of my life if it is around still too haha. 20/10

I’ve been using this site for a few months now and I’ve really enjoyed it! I’ve met one of my best friends from Iran on this site and we still talk to each other, as well as one of my other friends from England! While I do use the free version of this website and there are certain limits that come with it, I’ve really enjoyed my time on the website and I will love to continue meeting people on it. I love making friends!

If this was an app it would be so much easier then you could get notifications if somebody added you or messaged back instead of logging onto the site every time. Otherwise its super easy
