I really enjoyed this when I was on here 6-7 years ago. I had met a great pen pal and lost touch, but he was a genuine person. Hope to connect with him or someone else in the future

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

This website allowed me to learn from the people I engaged with; knowing that people come from different culture and backgrounds. The struggles of everyday life and how they are coping with it made me feel I am not alone. Just being there, writing to each other makes one feel that even the smallest things matters….knowing you have a mail.;)
