I wasn't sure about using Global Penfriends when I started but I also wasn't sure how I would find pen pals on my own. Despite being unsure, it has been great! I've got three or four pen pals that I am in regular contact with and I really appreciate the detailed profile you fill out to help connect you with people. Having the online messaging as initial contact is also worth it's weight in gold! Can't recommend this enough for connecting you to pen pals!
