What our members say

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.

I have met so many beautiful people here. Thanks to this website, I have close friends living kilometers away yet so close to my heart. This website has also improved itself a lot since I joined.

I live in a flat landlocked country with long winters and short summers. It can be very beautiful here, but I love the sea. The site expands my world when my pen pals tell me about their countries. It's not like watching National Geographic. I feel like I've been to the mountains or the sea.

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
