Global Penfriends is such a warm and welcoming space. It makes it easy to connect with kind, creative people from all over the world, and there’s something really special about slowing down and building friendships through letters. Perfect for anyone who loves journaling, stationery, and meaningful connections.

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.

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

It’s extremely safe for people of all ages which I find very nice. They also recommend me people I really relate to and just enjoy talking and writing to in general. 10/10 for me. It’s amazing
