What our members say

I am enjoying using the site to connect with people around the country with similar interests to me. Just sending a message every week or two is so beneficial. There is freedom to make as many friends as you want. There is no pressure and so much to learn from others lifestyles and the towns and cities where they live.

Global Pen friends is a great way to find pen pals from around the world! As well as being safe. I singed up to not only help me learn a language,but also make a friend while doing so.

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
