I was skeptical. However, after receiving my first letter, I know I contacted a real person, not an AI generated personality. I hope our relationship continues to grow.

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%

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.

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

I can completely relate to how momentous this is. Finding a friend from another country has been a dream of mine since childhood, and seeing that dream finally come true feels so fulfilling and special. It’s amazing to share that connection across distances!
