I've been using this site since about 2023 and so far it has not let me done. I highly suggest this site if you are looking for pen pals.

If this was an app it would be a lot easier to use and you would have even more people using it. Love it!

I am very satisfied with global penfriends. I am looking to find friends to write to and get to know and learn about new cultures and meet new and interesting people. I hope to get to know some really nice people and develop some great friendships. Learn about new places and make great connections and forever friends.

I found several penpals with globalpenfriends and become great friends with people all around the world! I‘m so obsessed with it (even tho its a little annoying that you can only see last 5 active chats)

its really good i've made lots of friends but there are lots of banner ads blocking the screen and a lot of important words like the post received I can barely see anything there. ik u need money and I don't mind them too much, but pls at least lemme see the words. and pls lemme see more than the last 5 active conversations maybe 10 for free? then for more u get premuim? I want to talk to all my friends :( pls fix those things then u get 5 stars. Everything for free.
