Over the years I’ve used Global Penpals to find me new friends to connect with from around the world and learn about where they live, and forming lasting friendships…. I still keep in touch with one from 2015! When I was at school in the 1970s I used to have over half a dozen penpals (sourced from a specialist newsletter through the post) from all over the world. Having lost touch with them over the years I wanted to rekindle an enjoyable hobby.

Honestly I don't regret joining the site. I decided to join one day in math class. So far, the site has given me one very close friend from Finland! I enjoy that you can enforce the age groups that can chat with you. I feel less lonely now since I can talk with people around the globe, not just in my town.
