Global pen friends is a great opportunity to make new friens from all over the world and i think it is pretty save too because of the rules of sharing informations

I like how the website is structured but I wish you could see when the last time people were active. I keep smiling people and I usually get responses like they haven't been active for a while. Id love this to become an app so I can get notifications, plus logging in everytime I open the site is kind of annoying. But I've had lots of success with gaining pen pals!! Love this site it's my go to for snail mail

This site is asking. I originally thought to try penpals to get my kids interested in it. I don't want expecting to meet my best friend on this site. And no we didn't know each other beforehand. Thank you Global Penpals!!!!

I really enjoyed it, but I would like it better if there was a possibility to give out a mail point other than my address. It might be only because I don't know how to do it, though, i'm pretty new to penpalling. But, as a new penpaller, I really like this website because you can meet people a little more easily and safely than on social media, and there isn't the wait time before recieving the letter as for other penpalling apps.
