This site is so amazing! It has honestly helped me learn so much about the world from others perspectives and make new friends! The site is incredibly safe, easy to navigate, and it really helps that the staff and other pen friends are so kind! Thank you so much Global Penfriends for introducing me to a side of life I otherwise would've never known!

Its easy to make connections i wish more people would take advantage of the sent and received option so can keep track and know whether a letter is on its way or if a penpal has just backed away for what ever reason.

I decided to create an account here based on a Reddit post I saw. It's always been on my bucket list to have a pen pal, so I don't regret my decision at all! Overall, it's been a positive experience

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.

I like the website very much. Its set up neatly, so youll find everything without any trouble. The structure off the profiles are pretty good aswell, they give a gernell idea weither you would get allonw with the people or not most of the times. Turning it up a notch Id love to see an app so you wont always have it open a web browser. I havent really tried the premium version, but thats mostly because I see no reason for me to purcase it.
