This is a special way to search for new people, to have new friends or, as I did, to learn or improve a language.

I started using this website maybe during 2020 when boredom was getting to me. This site has not let me down in the aspect of connecting me to people worldwide and I have made so many lifelong friendships. It is also very safe and easy to use. I recommend 100%

I love GPF because it has an easy way to connect with others while getting to know just a little about them before making the connection. It seems to cater to everyone by allowing your choice of finding snail mail, epals, etc though I find not everyone looks at those preferences and you may make a connection that isn't looking for the same time of correspondence as you (which is a little annoying) BUT one of my best friends I made on this site is that situation and I wouldn't change it. I came on here looking for snail mail penpals and so have made a couple strong connections and largely left the site, except for one epal who I sign on from time to time to message. The website seems to be updated regularly, they put a lot of care into their security and features. 100% worth a try, especially since its fully functional without paying money! (Though I paid for a time to support the makers, the free version really gives me all I need).

It’s a really good website and super easy to finish people to talk to!But the only issue is the communication, you have to constantly refresh the website just to see if you’ve had a message or not and I get you can use emails but it’s still a pain to go on emails every single time I’m wondering if I’ve gotten a message back.And then it’s also very annoying when people don’t reply because their account has been inactive for a while but it doesn’t state that anywhere or suddenly alert the person in a better way that a have a message after a really long time.over all an amazing website and I’ve gained a lot of penpals from it!

Global Penfriends is such a warm and welcoming space. It makes it easy to connect with kind, creative people from all over the world, and there’s something really special about slowing down and building friendships through letters. Perfect for anyone who loves journaling, stationery, and meaningful connections.
