What our members say

Have been using this site for about a year. Made several meaningful connections. I appreciate how easy it is to use the site as well as the security measures put in place to help establish trust between potential penpals.

This is a great platform to find genuine friends. You can find friends who are interested in the same things as you are.

Good matches, the exchange of letters is good, only our snail mail systems take their time. It is what it is.

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.

Id recommend this site for anyone wanting to make friends all over the world and for introverted people like myself

This isn't a typical penpal site (you know, where the women get asked re: romantic interest). Global Penfriends is deliberately selective -- focused on building genuine friendships. Thank you!
