I have tried a few pen pal sites in the past, but Global Pen Friends is the best :) there are no annoying ads, and I really like to see what categories I have in common with the others!

I absolutely love using this site to make penpals and friends! I have met some amazing people here and have sent several letters. If you are hesitant on getting started, don't! I'll be using this for the rest of my life if it is around still too haha. 20/10

I used this site before and found some genuine friends. Hope I will find new friends on here again. Sometimes in life, you need good friends that you can chat with.

Ive been here about several months, and I have very nice pen pals i regularly keep in touch with. The variety of countries is very good. My pen pals write with a nice frequency and always have interesting things to say. Always enjoy getting a pen friends mail in my mailbox!

I get the impression that there are relatively a lot of good people. There are also people with whom I have been exchanging messages for a long time.
