What our members say

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

Learn about new places and people. Good old fashioned mail. No quick chatting that ends too soon. Learn of historical places and people. Current affairs explained by friends in depth from different perspective from different countries.

I really enjoyed it, but I would like it better if there was a possibility to give out a mail point other than my address. It might be only because I don't know how to do it, though, i'm pretty new to penpalling. But, as a new penpaller, I really like this website because you can meet people a little more easily and safely than on social media, and there isn't the wait time before recieving the letter as for other penpalling apps.

I had signed up a while back but never got around to looking for a penpal. I have been so excited at the thought of making new friends in another state or even a whole other country. I cant wait to see what lies ahead.. Have fun everyone

The contacts I've got through GP have mostly been like-minded friendly people. Some have promised too much or even lied about themselves on their profile pages, but this is rather easy to detect quite soon. Thanks to GP, I have made solid, long-lasting friendships with several people from around the globe. The platform offered by GP is the best I've found on the internet.

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.
