It's a safe way to talk to more people, it takes precautions to protect your data, and it's very interactive and fun—I love it!
Very fun. I haven’t had any problems, people are generally kind. I’m fairly busy and sometimes it takes me a little while to respond 🙂

Was looking to get back to writing and corresponding. Loved having a penpal as a kid and was happy to find one within 1 week of signing up. The website needs some updating and a more pleasant UX/UI experience but its a great service.
Have been using this site for about a year. Made several meaningful connections. I appreciate how easy it is to use the site as well as the security measures put in place to help establish trust between potential penpals.

Hello from France! I love Global Penfriends as it allows chatting, writing, sending postcards and decorated envelopes, and discovering surprises in my mailbox. I’m a tea lover, and I keep a tea journal where I record all the teas I try. I also enjoy scrapbooking. Right now, I’m making ATCs. I love flat stickers, washi tape, and so on. I’m not picky, and it’s such a pleasure to open my mailbox. Wishing everyone a joyful life! Thank you Global Penfriends
I love that we can find people from many different countries and backgrounds here. The site pays a lot of attention to security, too. It's a friendly and diverse site, I like that.
