It’s a really good website and super easy to finish people to talk to!But the only issue is the communication, you have to constantly refresh the website just to see if you’ve had a message or not and I get you can use emails but it’s still a pain to go on emails every single time I’m wondering if I’ve gotten a message back.And then it’s also very annoying when people don’t reply because their account has been inactive for a while but it doesn’t state that anywhere or suddenly alert the person in a better way that a have a message after a really long time.over all an amazing website and I’ve gained a lot of penpals from it!

I love chatting with everyone on this site! Very interesting to see how others are in other parts of the world. Although it is a little slow meeting people to chat with, I still find this site very enjoyable! I also love how safe it is.

i like global penfriends because it really cares about safety like sharing contact details only if trust is build, that’s good but maybe it’s not necessary that people need to have at least two other two way chats to share contact details with a pen pal

In my personal experience, this website is a great way to meet new people and make friends! I love the personalization feature where you can select certain circumstances for who you want to talk to. Very safe, reliable, and helpful. (I got a Penpal within a couple months!)

I started using Global Pen Friends in 2020, then took a break for some time. Now I am back, and I’m really happy I returned. The site is warm and friendly, and I have met kind people and made real friendships. It feels nice to connect with others from different countries and share stories.
