I found 2 penfriends on this site. It's easy to navigate and I love that the site is not full with adds. Helps to use it even on my phone. The search function helps to pick a person to write to. The limit per day for non paying users is a bit annoying but I understand that globalpenfriends.com need a reason that you're joining.

I have met many nice people and have enjoyed corresponding with them. It is a good way to meet people from other countries and learn about their lives and customs.

I love this website. It gave me the opportunity to see the other side of the world, and I've made many friends. I feel lucky to have opened this website in 2023. It gave me the opportunity to communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds and share things we both like. I feel incredibly happy about this. Perhaps this is some kind of destiny guiding me? In any case, I'm grateful for the existence of this website. 我很喜欢这个网站,它给我看见世界另一端的机会,我也认识了很多朋友,我感到幸运,在23年打开了这个网站,我有了和不同文化背景人们的交流机会,分享着我们共同喜欢的事物,我对此感到无比的幸福,这或许也是冥冥之中命运的指引吗?无论如何,感谢这个网站的存在

I really love this website as it provides filters and has a lot of functions to find people with similar interests! There is a smile function that can help if you are a bit shy.

It's a safe way to talk to more people, it takes precautions to protect your data, and it's very interactive and fun—I love it!
