Very good UI. Easy to use and sleek. Still exploring the various features. The search option can be a little more user friendly.

I love how safe I feel on this site and how easy it is to find friends in many corners of the world and share interests through writing. Global Penfriends is the site where I feel the safest and where I have been able to make friends with others around the world that I know will last a lifetime. Thank you so much!

It's a good platform, the only thing I would recommend is a more modern feel to the site's appearance.

Global penpals are the good place for meeting different places people, and the scanner which can protect all penpals, make me feel safe. But sometimes it is really sad to find all the messages are deleted as well.

I think it's functional! I havent sent any real post yet tbh… but I think it really does its job, the only bad thing is that a lot of the good options are paid and it's a bit hard to connect with people for a lot of days because of the one week rule, but I understand is for safety! I love this website :)
