Awesome way to connect with random people with similar interests in a safe environment. Really hope yall fix the layout keep the promotional stuff sure but make the layout a little cleaner espeacially the chat area. Also a section explaining new updates and restrictions would be appreciated

I've always enjoyed learning about others and GPFs offers an easy way to "meet" new people and learn about other countries and cultures!

Ive been here about several months, and I have very nice pen pals i regularly keep in touch with. The variety of countries is very good. My pen pals write with a nice frequency and always have interesting things to say. Always enjoy getting a pen friends mail in my mailbox!

I decided to create an account here based on a Reddit post I saw. It's always been on my bucket list to have a pen pal, so I don't regret my decision at all! Overall, it's been a positive experience

This site is a great way to connect with awesome people from across the globe! My main complaint is that there's a limit to the amount of conversations you can have going at once. Also I have too many pen pals now, but I discovered that there's an option to suspend your account so new people don't contact you, which is a handy feature of the site! Overall, I would totally recommend!
