The website is quite easy to navigate. Would like a smaller character limit on profile though. Another nice feature would be an option to add ways to get into contact like email, discord, Instagram or whatsapp.

Growing up i struggled with talking to people face to face but having a site where i don't have to be face to face really helps and it feels much calmer than public xx

I wanted to start writing to people all over the world, but I had no idea how to do it safely. GlobalPenFriends is what I found to be the most reliable site so far when finding people that are real. But it has its quirks, the site can be kinda laggy, but to be fair I use this solely on my phone. I’m sure it runs a lot more efficiently on a computer or laptop. Of course there are some accounts still on here that are questionable, but far less when compared to other platforms. I haven’t come across any “creepy” people. I recommend it for sure! I have gained a few penpals whom I write to and it’s been a lovely experience so far.
