I wanted to start writing to people all over the world, but I had no idea how to do it safely. GlobalPenFriends is what I found to be the most reliable site so far when finding people that are real. But it has its quirks, the site can be kinda laggy, but to be fair I use this solely on my phone. I’m sure it runs a lot more efficiently on a computer or laptop. Of course there are some accounts still on here that are questionable, but far less when compared to other platforms. I haven’t come across any “creepy” people. I recommend it for sure! I have gained a few penpals whom I write to and it’s been a lovely experience so far.

It’s good for making friends across the world. It gives you connections that can lead to something more like possibly travailing.

I like the site over all a lot but there are some things I dislike; It happened to me often that I deleted the message I was writing by mistake and the site doesnt save it at all so there is no way of getting it back. Plus you can't delete messages or edit them which is unfortunet. I also would like ro be able to react to individual messages. But besides that I do really enjoy it on here:)))
