This is the only site that I trust to find new penpal friends. I’ve tried so many others that are odd or aren’t as thorough with screening. I love it so far.

Global Penfriends is a great app for making new friends and learning about different cultures. I have made a great friend on here and it is amazing that by writing letters you can really feel conected to a person even though they live far away. I think that the app is well layed out and easy to navigate. If one thing could be changed, for me it would be to have something that pops up saying 'are you sure you want to delete your profile'(or something like that) because once I was trying to modify my profile but acidentaly clicked on 'delete profile' and that was it, my profile was gone. It would be good to have some kind of confirmation before one deletes their profile, just incase of acidents. Overall I think Global Penfriends is a great website.

Global Penfriends has been very helpful for finding penpals! It has a very simple way to find people similar to you and makes it very easy to contact them. The only problem is that some things cost money, which then doesn't allow many people to do certain things on the website. Besides that, it is a very good site for finding pen pals!

It's great that you can choose who can contact you. Especially as a woman it's reassuring to know that not any creepy person can contact you. So far I've only had good experiences with this website and met some very good friends through it.

Honestly I don't regret joining the site. I decided to join one day in math class. So far, the site has given me one very close friend from Finland! I enjoy that you can enforce the age groups that can chat with you. I feel less lonely now since I can talk with people around the globe, not just in my town.

To be honest this is the best website to find lots of kind people and to make lots of friends! And from this website—I also learn how to send a letter because honestly it's my first time to have a pen pal and it was really great experience. Definitely the best website ever !
