What our members say

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.

Perfect for anyone who loves journaling, stationery, and meaningful connections.

My main reason for choosin GPF is that I want a penpal from the UK. There were initially several options from which to choose.
