This site is strict and protect the users. The platform informed me that one user who has been writing to me is a fraud which I am thankful for! I don’t like that we have to upgrade to meet more other people but this is how it works here. It’s also about luck who contacts you. Overall, I like the strict security part.

Around a year or two ago, I met a girl from France on this site and we chatted online for a while, realising we had lots in common and that it was really fun to chat about differences in Scottish and French culture, music, food, school etc. We sent each other physical mail and i still have the pictures she sent and the zine she made me up on my wall. We now text and voice message every couple weeks!!! So glad I used globalpenfriends!!!

I like that you can just find a friend to write to and just discuss whatever you want. People are friendly and have different experiences to offer.

This website helped me fulfill my dream of connecting with other people and penpalling! The security is great and this website is trustworthy. The only problem is the moderating on profiles. Profile pictures are not reviewed carefully. I uploaded pictures of fruit or drawings and it was rejected, so this part could be better. Other than that this is a great site i love it!!
