I love this website since I can easily find so many penpals! It’s easy to use and pretty safe which is great. The only thing I don’t like are the ads when using the site for free!

I can't really put into words how much i love receiving snail mail!!! As soon as i find one in my mailbox i have to stop everything, get in a cozy spot and read and lose myself in my letter - i even love pouring over the envelope, writing paper - everything about it!! Thanks for hosting this site where i can fulfill my snail mail dreams and make new friends around the world!! :) :)

I wanted to start writing to people all over the world, but I had no idea how to do it safely. GlobalPenFriends is what I found to be the most reliable site so far when finding people that are real. But it has its quirks, the site can be kinda laggy, but to be fair I use this solely on my phone. I’m sure it runs a lot more efficiently on a computer or laptop. Of course there are some accounts still on here that are questionable, but far less when compared to other platforms. I haven’t come across any “creepy” people. I recommend it for sure! I have gained a few penpals whom I write to and it’s been a lovely experience so far.

A very good site, thank you. It should be mandatory for users to have a profile photo. Fix this. Let's make more than one smile. Çok iyi bir site elinize sağlık. Kullanıcıların profil fotosunun olması zorunlu olmali. Bunu düzeltin. Birde birden fazla smile atabilelim.

I think they are amazing by letting you connect with people all over the world. I like to connect with different cultures and learning how they live they think and also to give other people a chance to see how other cultures live and how we live our every day lives.
