Global Penfriends is a wonderful platform for connecting with people across the world through genuine, meaningful friendships. Whether you're looking to exchange emails, traditional letters, or even postcards, the site offers a safe and user-friendly environment. Profiles are detailed, allowing users to find penpals with shared interests, values, or cultures. The community feels warm and respectful, and it's a great way to practice language skills, learn about different countries, or simply make new friends. I’ve personally had enriching conversations and built long-term connections. For anyone seeking authentic human interaction beyond social media, Global Penfriends is definitely worth joining.

I think it's functional! I havent sent any real post yet tbh… but I think it really does its job, the only bad thing is that a lot of the good options are paid and it's a bit hard to connect with people for a lot of days because of the one week rule, but I understand is for safety! I love this website :)
