I joined Global Penfriends to meet new friends worldwide, exchange stories, and learn about different cultures. I’m excited about postcards, meaningful conversations, and maybe even swapping small gifts. Let’s connect and share a little bit of our worlds with each other ✉️

It helps you easily find friends with the same interests as you, but people don't always respond to your messages. I like how a lot of it is connected to culture, like the cultural keepsake.

I found amazing pals here! Certainly no stalkers here. I am yet to try Snail Mail, though. Overall, I am having a wonderful experience with the website - easy navigation too.

I can't really say much, though I can say that I don't feel like paying for the website - ervything should be free. I am very greatfull that you exist though and will continue to use for free.
