I like how the website is structured but I wish you could see when the last time people were active. I keep smiling people and I usually get responses like they haven't been active for a while. Id love this to become an app so I can get notifications, plus logging in everytime I open the site is kind of annoying. But I've had lots of success with gaining pen pals!! Love this site it's my go to for snail mail

Penpal-ing and making friends are my favorite things to do. I still remember the first letter I had ever sent and ever received, it was the best feeling in the world. Without Global Penfriends, none of that would have been possible. So thank you GP, for making this experience memorable, fun, and safe.
