Is a really good site ive made a few friends and I like that there's safety limits before sharing personal info byt I wish it was in a app so that I dont have to keep searching for it and logging in again and again

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!!

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!

global penfriends is a very good site but I think it will be better if the site was free.
