I enjoy Global Penfriends. I continue to write to a retired senior lady with similar qualities, past times and hobbies. She is from Norway.
It allows you to meet so many people from so many different places. It is by far the best website I have used to connect with people accross the world. Very safe, and very easy to use. I love it.
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!!,
Great way to write and get to know people from all over the world, which is safe in the comfort of your home.
This website is really good. I like how it checks if every user is safe and I never met a fraud here.
I really enjoy using Global Penfriends! It's such a fun way to meet people from different countries, make new friends and learn about different cultures. I love being able to send messages, get to know people and share things about our lives. It's also exciting getting to talk to people who live somewhere completely different from me. I've had a really good experience so far and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to make friends around the world!
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.
It's nice the site has requirements to meet before exchanging addresses, so you can vet the other person. I have been able to connect with lots of people here on this site.
An easy to use, simple & friendly site 😊 I’ve made friends with people I would never have met otherwise. One of whom will be a friend for life!
