I came here for a penpal hobby, and i met so many amazing people! so many letters! so much fun! 100% recommend!
Great to hear from someone from another country and ask question on where to go and see in your travels.
This site is genuinely great for connecting with others throughout the world. I have not yet figured out how to update my profile to reflect more of who I am . Also, email conversation space is limited.
I really like that GPS keeps the platform well-monitored, safe, and clean. It provides a great environment for finding connections. Going forward, I would love to see a larger variety of penpals to choose from in my category, but overall it remains a wonderfully reliable site.
I've already found a really great friend just from using this, and I hope i'll meet even more! 10/10 <3
I love it cos, Ive met amazing people on this site and still meeting more!!, i love learning about new music, theatre productions, authors and their books, culture etc!, when i joined penfriends i was abit skepticak at first, but then i got the hang of it and loved it!, i go on it like (NEARLY) everyday!!,
A lovely platform to meet genuine people exchange, cultures, and build meaningful friends worldwide.
Sadly have not connected with many people willing to share their life experiences or cultural differences
I have enjoyed meeting new people and hearing a bit about how people live in other parts of the world.
i like it but the website said that it's free but not all the things are free. the other things are great but you have to share your address
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
