i joined last year after seeing videos of people writing to their penpals and receiving pretty letters, and it was so easy and fun to set up an account. I think the system in which the website works is really cool too. And it's very safe and accessible, and i've met some of my closest friends on here which just opens so many doors, so i really really recommend!!

Wonderful way of making new friends and learning about cultures from across the globe. I've found it's a really great way to learn languages also

Global penfriends has gotten me so many friends. I have met people in france, Australia, and places even farther. I have learned things about places I never knew. I have learned a little bit of france since then and I have met some amazing people on here, with the same interests as me. Very worth it!

This is a fun cite to connect with others from around the world. It can be a tad overwhelming, so you need to be organized and remember what you wrote to several different people. I wish there was a way to keep track of interactions and maybe there is if you pay the membership fees.
