What our members say

Global Penfriends has been very helpful for finding penpals! It has a very simple way to find people similar to you and makes it very easy to contact them. The only problem is that some things cost money, which then doesn't allow many people to do certain things on the website. Besides that, it is a very good site for finding pen pals!

Honestly I don't regret joining the site. I decided to join one day in math class. So far, the site has given me one very close friend from Finland! I enjoy that you can enforce the age groups that can chat with you. I feel less lonely now since I can talk with people around the globe, not just in my town.
