I made a lot of friends on this site who love to share their experiences, I lost some of them, I found others, they are all writing in international languages, that s why it is so simple to be in contact wirh eachother.

AMAZING site, it allowed me to meet new people and discover a new hobby which is writing letters and penpaling in general, the feeling of getting a message with gifts, bracelets, photos from a person from the other side of the world is just magical.

I like how the website is structured but I wish you could see when the last time people were active. I keep smiling people and I usually get responses like they haven't been active for a while. Id love this to become an app so I can get notifications, plus logging in everytime I open the site is kind of annoying. But I've had lots of success with gaining pen pals!! Love this site it's my go to for snail mail

This program is giving me the opportunity to have contact with some pen pals that I wouldn’t have if I wasn’t using Global Penfriends.

This site has made a huge effort in seeing to it that members don't get scammed by sharing information with other members prematurely. They have specific timeframes as to when one can share pertinent contact information with each other.
