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

Global Penfriends is a great app for making new friends and learning about different cultures. I have made a great friend on here and it is amazing that by writing letters you can really feel conected to a person even though they live far away. I think that the app is well layed out and easy to navigate. If one thing could be changed, for me it would be to have something that pops up saying 'are you sure you want to delete your profile'(or something like that) because once I was trying to modify my profile but acidentaly clicked on 'delete profile' and that was it, my profile was gone. It would be good to have some kind of confirmation before one deletes their profile, just incase of acidents. Overall I think Global Penfriends is a great website.

Honestly, I'm going to use it now; I don't think I'll be disappointed. I like meeting people from other countries, and I suppose this website is more reliable than others.
