I can completely relate to how momentous this is. Finding a friend from another country has been a dream of mine since childhood, and seeing that dream finally come true feels so fulfilling and special. It’s amazing to share that connection across distances!
This is a special way to search for new people, to have new friends or, as I did, to learn or improve a language.
GPP is a safe place to make new people. I have been using this site for a while and i have a positive experience about the safety
I love writing but with all the technology and fast movement I yearned for something slower, more intimate and nostalgic. I guess it's the millenial in me but i HAVE enjoyed using this platform so much and being able to connect with people all over the world. My fav thing is getting to know someone and crafting a beautiful letter for them.
I've had a great experience so far, I've found some lovely penpals around the world and I hope to find more.
This has been outright the most amazing experience of 2025, I'm in awe with the service and the lifelong friends I have met. Thank you for an amazing service.

On this website, I have made more friends than I ever did in school! All of which share the same hobbies and likes as me, it is very comforting. You can also learn about other people’s culture!
