I easily found a few contacts on the site. The site is easy to use and seems like a reliable way to make new friends. Löysin helposti muutamia kontakteja sivustolta. Sivustoa helppo käyttää ja tuntuu luotettavalta tavalta saada uusia ystäviä.

Over the years I’ve used Global Penpals to find me new friends to connect with from around the world and learn about where they live, and forming lasting friendships…. I still keep in touch with one from 2015! When I was at school in the 1970s I used to have over half a dozen penpals (sourced from a specialist newsletter through the post) from all over the world. Having lost touch with them over the years I wanted to rekindle an enjoyable hobby.
