I really like that GPS keeps the platform well-monitored, safe, and clean. It provides a great environment for finding connections. Going forward, I would love to see a larger variety of penpals to choose from in my category, but overall it remains a wonderfully reliable site.
It allows you to meet so many people from so many different places. It is by far the best website I have used to connect with people accross the world. Very safe, and very easy to use. I love it.
Met a few amazing people here!! Learnt about their culture and personality. I love penpal apps, it was nice to find this one.
I love this website & its purpose! I have made many very sweet penpals here and enjoy the hobby. Meeting people, even without any premium memberships is super easy. Connecting over other Apps later on once one got to know each other should also be possible, to stay in contact better. (getting notifications from their messages, reacting to posts/ stories) Maybe a great alternative to add would be people being able to upload posts to their own profile to show their personality a little better.
great resource SUPER safety conscious. i made one friend on here so far - thanks Global Penfriends!
Is a great place for ppl to meet new ppl habd make new friends and share interests and hobbies with one another
It's a decent site but not everyone writes regularly, although it's important to find a good fit with people
I have found new friends here and absolutely love getting to know them and learning about the places they live and sending and recieving gifts with them. I've found lifelong friends.
i like it but the website said that it's free but not all the things are free. the other things are great but you have to share your address
I enjoy writing letters by hand and getting to know people from other parts of the planet whom it would otherwise be practically impossible for me to meet. I’m glad this site exists.
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
