I like that you can just find a friend to write to and just discuss whatever you want. People are friendly and have different experiences to offer.

Global penfriends is a wonderful online site to connect with friends all over the world. I have been on the site for a few years and met people who became my friends until now. I would definitely recommend this site to others who might be interested in connecting with others around the world. What I really like they have rules and regulations that help guide and keep us safe from unscrupulous persons who have a different agenda from what it should be. In Jamaica we would say, "big up yourself Global Penfriends" continue do the excellent job you are doing. Antoinette from Jamaica 🇯🇲

I like how the website is structured but I wish you could see when the last time people were active. I keep smiling people and I usually get responses like they haven't been active for a while. Id love this to become an app so I can get notifications, plus logging in everytime I open the site is kind of annoying. But I've had lots of success with gaining pen pals!! Love this site it's my go to for snail mail
