I like the site over all a lot but there are some things I dislike; It happened to me often that I deleted the message I was writing by mistake and the site doesnt save it at all so there is no way of getting it back. Plus you can't delete messages or edit them which is unfortunet. I also would like ro be able to react to individual messages. But besides that I do really enjoy it on here:)))

I enjoy this site very much, I have met and spoken to wonderful people so far. No snail mail has been sent yet, but I am hoping to exchange snail mail soon and get the hang of things.

Very secure and friendly, I am still confused about things like what snail mail credits (used to collect postal addresses) are. So fun though!

i like global penfriends because it really cares about safety like sharing contact details only if trust is build, that’s good but maybe it’s not necessary that people need to have at least two other two way chats to share contact details with a pen pal

It’s a really good website and super easy to finish people to talk to!But the only issue is the communication, you have to constantly refresh the website just to see if you’ve had a message or not and I get you can use emails but it’s still a pain to go on emails every single time I’m wondering if I’ve gotten a message back.And then it’s also very annoying when people don’t reply because their account has been inactive for a while but it doesn’t state that anywhere or suddenly alert the person in a better way that a have a message after a really long time.over all an amazing website and I’ve gained a lot of penpals from it!

I have made some good connections, even with limited time available to participate. I have had a chance to learn more about places I may never get to visit. It reminds me that even with different cultures, there are common threads that bind us all together.
