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

I really enjoy that Global Pen-friends is sending me suggestions for new Pen-pals. The ones I have been writing to are not always reliable and sometimes do not write for a long time, even though we get along very well. Thank you for hosting this site, it has been a lot of fun.

Over the years I’ve used Global Penpals to find me new friends to connect with from around the world and learn about where they live, and forming lasting friendships…. I still keep in touch with one from 2015! When I was at school in the 1970s I used to have over half a dozen penpals (sourced from a specialist newsletter through the post) from all over the world. Having lost touch with them over the years I wanted to rekindle an enjoyable hobby.
