What our members say

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.

It's been a really good way to meet people in other parts of the world. I have met quite a few on here, but most of my contacts have been genuine.

I found the whole process very easy and have made lots of new friends. Also love the fact that Global Penfriends are very security conscious and have removed a couple of penpals who may have been scammers. I would thoroughly recommend

I have been writing paper letters to many countries since childhood. There is a large selection of friends, everything is clearly organized. There are photos, maps, information about new friends and much more. I have found great friends here and I am grateful for that. I like reading about their countries, their interests. I would recommend this application to everyone. It is a very friendly environment.
