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.

This website is a great way to meet new friends, snail mail penpals, email penpals, etc. I joined to try to make some new friends before travelling overseas, and I have made some wonderful friends through this site.

I found the most wonderful penpals here! I can only recommend it. It might take some time until you find the people who match but it's the same in real life isn't it?
