What our members say

Penpal-ing and making friends are my favorite things to do. I still remember the first letter I had ever sent and ever received, it was the best feeling in the world. Without Global Penfriends, none of that would have been possible. So thank you GP, for making this experience memorable, fun, and safe.

I love everything about this site but I wish it was an app. most of it is easy to use but the text feature makes it a little hard to use.

I like it here. It serves my purpose very well. But the limitation on number of messages allowed is a little irritating.
