I was easily able to talk to new people and was able to have many pen pals who I have become good friends with

The website is safe and has good safeguarding features. It would be better if it would allow to upload more pictures and if it would let us choose the place of the keepsake.

This site is so amazing! It has honestly helped me learn so much about the world from others perspectives and make new friends! The site is incredibly safe, easy to navigate, and it really helps that the staff and other pen friends are so kind! Thank you so much Global Penfriends for introducing me to a side of life I otherwise would've never known!

This isn't a typical penpal site (you know, where the women get asked re: romantic interest). Global Penfriends is deliberately selective -- focused on building genuine friendships. Thank you!
