What our members say

Global penfriends has gotten me so many friends. I have met people in france, Australia, and places even farther. I have learned things about places I never knew. I have learned a little bit of france since then and I have met some amazing people on here, with the same interests as me. Very worth it!

Global penfriends is a wonderful online site to connect with friends all over the world. I have been on the site for a few years and met people who became my friends until now. I would definitely recommend this site to others who might be interested in connecting with others around the world. What I really like they have rules and regulations that help guide and keep us safe from unscrupulous persons who have a different agenda from what it should be. In Jamaica we would say, "big up yourself Global Penfriends" continue do the excellent job you are doing. Antoinette from Jamaica 🇯🇲

AMAZING site, it allowed me to meet new people and discover a new hobby which is writing letters and penpaling in general, the feeling of getting a message with gifts, bracelets, photos from a person from the other side of the world is just magical.

Penpal-ing and making friends are my favorite things to do. I still remember the first letter I had ever sent and ever received, it was the best feeling in the world. Without Global Penfriends, none of that would have been possible. So thank you GP, for making this experience memorable, fun, and safe.

I met a few good friends from different countries, I met a few of them when I went to overseas. it's a good way to learn another culture and broader our knowledge. I wish I could put the picture when I told them my story.

It's a nice platform to find friends around the world. It's also safe since it doesn't allow us to give social medias or other personal details
