I used this site when I was younger and met some great friends. I feel as though this site values its members safety, and thats very important. I recently rejoined and I like it.

As a teenager I had 14 penpals from all over the world and I absolutely loved it. Now being a widow and having some free time on my hands I thought how wonderful it would be to have New penpals from around the world to write to that was my main reason for joining this wonderful Site.

If you don't want to pay, you can use the basic version quite well. However, 20% of other people's profiles are blocked.. But that's a fair price for the free version. I appreciate the ability to record sent and received letter mail.

Pros: -A focus on the written word and genuine connections -The built-in waiting period for sending contact information is a good idea for keeping things safe -There's always new people joining! Cons: -search filters are bit restrictive sometimes Overall, it's definitely fulfilled my desire for having a penpal! No major complaints :)

I've been using GPF for around 6 months and have made some great pals and learnt things from them that I wouldn't have known before! Admin will always help you with any questions, and quick at replying which is great!

I love the concept of the websites: meeting new people and the slow exchange of emails, it gives me time to think more deeply in an answer. I laso love that I can talk with someone who has a diffrent culture to learn more about it
