I think is a great way to learn more and meet new people but I do wish it was an app. I also with it was easier to do things without credits. The credits really frustrate me a little since I come a family that isn’t big on the idea of contacting strangers lol
It's a really awesome website, and i've made a lot of new penpal friends! It's so fun to use, but I put only 4 stars because they update all the time and I feel like there needs to be directions on how to work/understand all the new updates.
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
This site is so easy to use, even for someone like me who is very versed in technology. I am hoping to find friends from all walks of life to share cultural experiences among other things
An easy to use, simple & friendly site 😊 I’ve made friends with people I would never have met otherwise. One of whom will be a friend for life!
This site is genuinely great for connecting with others throughout the world. I have not yet figured out how to update my profile to reflect more of who I am . Also, email conversation space is limited.
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.
Nice site , good to make new friends across the world and learn their culture and language.
I love this website. It gave me the opportunity to see the other side of the world, and I've made many friends. I feel lucky to have opened this website in 2023. It gave me the opportunity to communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds and share things we both like. I feel incredibly happy about this. Perhaps this is some kind of destiny guiding me? In any case, I'm grateful for the existence of this website. 我很喜欢这个网站，它给我看见世界另一端的机会，我也认识了很多朋友，我感到幸运，在23年打开了这个网站，我有了和不同文化背景人们的交流机会，分享着我们共同喜欢的事物，我对此感到无比的幸福，这或许也是冥冥之中命运的指引吗？无论如何，感谢这个网站的存在
It's nice the site has requirements to meet before exchanging addresses, so you can vet the other person. I have been able to connect with lots of people here on this site.
