I found the most wonderful penpals here! I can only recommend it. It might take some time until you find the people who match but it's the same in real life isn't it?

Growing up i struggled with talking to people face to face but having a site where i don't have to be face to face really helps and it feels much calmer than public xx

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.
