I reached out to a lot of people on Global Penfriends and ended up with a handful of amazing penpals! I have a language learning Pal, and people in places I'd love to visit someday.

First time use. Hoping it will help me make friends. Family orientated will be awesome. General chat and a few laughs.

The profile is checked by a real human, so it declines the possibility to be cheated by cheaters. I think it is a very good part of this website. But sometimes, it seems although somebody send me a message, there is no more notification in my email, and i also find this problem from my penpals.

So I would characterize my experience as average. I think it is harder to sustain than people expect.

I was worried that I would not be able to get along with them because I was worried about my English, but many of them are very kind and I feel safe and secure using them!
