What our members say

I love this site & the close friendships I've made through writing to many unique people that I wouldn't have had an opportunity to meet any other way!

I really like the idea of this ,like bringing back penpals. It's a really unique experience and I like the fact that each profile goes under verification to ensure more safety among the users. The only thing that I'd say was not necessary is the fact that profiles are restricted and you have to pay.Even so, it's a fun experience

I love the concept of the websites: meeting new people and the slow exchange of emails, it gives me time to think more deeply in an answer. I laso love that I can talk with someone who has a diffrent culture to learn more about it

I joined Global Penfriends to meet new friends worldwide, exchange stories, and learn about different cultures. I’m excited about postcards, meaningful conversations, and maybe even swapping small gifts. Let’s connect and share a little bit of our worlds with each other ✉️

i feel like it should be entirely free to see all the conversations, all the time. i feel like that being free at least is a minimum
