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.

Thanks for giving us this platform. I've met really interesting people from across the world. I've only recently joined the snail mail community, and I have to say that it is really fun waiting for a letter and also writing and sending it.

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.
