It's a good place to make friends Here on Global penfriends And it can be free and safe to use if money is tight. Thank you
Recommended, except that a friend I write letters to has been blocked, and now I don't know her last name to send the letter to, and I really liked her!
The overall idea is really good. But you could bring some UX improvements. Make it more obvious how to use the ‘post received’ ‘post sent’ feature. The members who gave permission for their address to be used for snail mail credits forget and then they get super surprised when they received a letter. Make it more prominent as well. I inderstand the business model of display ads, but on mobile it almost blocks certain touch areas that are important to the flow. So give more space and overlap less the banners with the essential actions. But overall I really like the platform.
it's fine to join the site and know some new friends Thank you Global Penfriends for providing this website.
On this website, I have made more friends than I ever did in school! All of which share the same hobbies and likes as me, it is very comforting. You can also learn about other people’s culture!
I love the overall safety on here. I have never been contacted by anyone outside of my preferred age group and I feel like it is the perfect level of anonymity considering that we are all strangers who want to find a penpal. I do wish however to some day be able to stay in contact with more people without buying anything. I would also love to add more profile information regarding hobbies and other topics of interest. I would also love appreciate a language learning swap filter (for example, I want to learn Spanish and therefore would love to teach a person who knows Spanish my native tongue). Other than that I’m quite happy and I actually like how there is no app to directly contact people 24/7, since I feel like the whole point of having PenPals in 2026 is to not be available all the time and instead rewind for your new friends what happened over a span of time.
I've had a great experience so far, I've found some lovely penpals around the world and I hope to find more.
I found some great international pen pals via this site which was what was looking for. I hope this will develop into lasting friendships.
This is a great website where I’ve found a few but a lot accounts, Good response but some may not answer messages
