I always wanted to try penpalling but didn't know how to find penpals,until I saw some recommendations for Global Penfriends. I personally think it's really safe with some aspects in the website.

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).

Growing up i struggled with talking to people face to face but having a site where i don't have to be face to face really helps and it feels much calmer than public xx

I enjoy this site very much, I have met and spoken to wonderful people so far. No snail mail has been sent yet, but I am hoping to exchange snail mail soon and get the hang of things.

I think it’s amazing for meeting friends from abroad, whether abroad means out of your state/province or out of your country! I’ve been using it for a while now and it’s been incredible. Thank you so much for allowing me to meet and make so many friends safely ❤️

I was skeptical. However, after receiving my first letter, I know I contacted a real person, not an AI generated personality. I hope our relationship continues to grow.

I've tried a few sites and social media groups for pen pals. Global Penfriends is by far the best for making legitimate connections! Of course there have been one or two who seemed like a good match and flaked, but I've made a few meaningful connections with lots of letters and communication. This is the only site I can recommend to others looking to match pen pal connections.
