I always wanted to try penpalling but didn't know how to find penpals,until I saw some recommendations for Global Penfriends. I personally think it's really safe with some aspects in the website.
On this website, I have made more friends than I ever did in school! All of which share the same hobbies and likes as me, it is very comforting. You can also learn about other people’s culture!
I love the overall safety on here. I have never been contacted by anyone outside of my preferred age group and I feel like it is the perfect level of anonymity considering that we are all strangers who want to find a penpal. I do wish however to some day be able to stay in contact with more people without buying anything. I would also love to add more profile information regarding hobbies and other topics of interest. I would also love appreciate a language learning swap filter (for example, I want to learn Spanish and therefore would love to teach a person who knows Spanish my native tongue). Other than that I’m quite happy and I actually like how there is no app to directly contact people 24/7, since I feel like the whole point of having PenPals in 2026 is to not be available all the time and instead rewind for your new friends what happened over a span of time.
I can't really put into words how much i love receiving snail mail!!! As soon as i find one in my mailbox i have to stop everything, get in a cozy spot and read and lose myself in my letter - i even love pouring over the envelope, writing paper - everything about it!! Thanks for hosting this site where i can fulfill my snail mail dreams and make new friends around the world!! :) :)
Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Joining is the best thing I ever did. I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to find a penal
Good site. Found good friends. Very secure and strict rules. Sometimes too much strickt.
I love this website since I can easily find so many penpals! It’s easy to use and pretty safe which is great. The only thing I don’t like are the ads when using the site for free!
Things are going nice on this website, seeing to find one still but I am working on sending messages!!!!
I started using this website maybe during 2020 when boredom was getting to me. This site has not let me down in the aspect of connecting me to people worldwide and I have made so many lifelong friendships. It is also very safe and easy to use. I recommend 100%
My experience so far has been ok and cool. I made a new friend and I look forward to finding more as I use this site. Thank you. Though, I have not meeting my goal : learning a language
