This site is genuinely great for connecting with others throughout the world. I have not yet figured out how to update my profile to reflect more of who I am . Also, email conversation space is limited.
Global Penfriends has helped me find lovely penfriends with whom I have been in contact for many years. I've even met one of them in person. I recommend giving it a try.
I really like that GPS keeps the platform well-monitored, safe, and clean. It provides a great environment for finding connections. Going forward, I would love to see a larger variety of penpals to choose from in my category, but overall it remains a wonderfully reliable site.
I have enjoyed meeting new people and hearing a bit about how people live in other parts of the world.
