I got the best friends through GPF. It was an experience that connected me with people I might never have met otherwise. At first, I joined for the program itself, but what stayed with me was the friendships. We worked together, shared ideas, and supported each other in different tasks. Over time, those connections grew stronger, and I realized that GPF gave me more than just knowledge or activities. It gave me friends I can share my thoughts, people who understand me and stand by me. Looking back, I see that the most valuable outcome of GPF was not only the program but the lasting friendships I gained.😀

This is a great site for finding pen pals. There is good security and advice, so I felt confident using it. I have met some really lovely people on here, and still no weirdos after over a year using it.

Around a year or two ago, I met a girl from France on this site and we chatted online for a while, realising we had lots in common and that it was really fun to chat about differences in Scottish and French culture, music, food, school etc. We sent each other physical mail and i still have the pictures she sent and the zine she made me up on my wall. We now text and voice message every couple weeks!!! So glad I used globalpenfriends!!!

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.

This website helped me fulfill my dream of connecting with other people and penpalling! The security is great and this website is trustworthy. The only problem is the moderating on profiles. Profile pictures are not reviewed carefully. I uploaded pictures of fruit or drawings and it was rejected, so this part could be better. Other than that this is a great site i love it!!

Global Penfriends is good. We can connect with people and start writing and this can help to build connection slowly
