This site is really cool, and i've gotten to talk with so many people from all around the world! I even picked up another language with a help of a pen pal. The cute little gifts and stickers ive gotten are the best! I spend a lot of time on here, just talking with pen pals about life in general. 100% recommend to anyone who wants to try pen paling for the first time!

Around a year or two ago, I met a girl from France on this site and we chatted online for a while, realising we had lots in common and that it was really fun to chat about differences in Scottish and French culture, music, food, school etc. We sent each other physical mail and i still have the pictures she sent and the zine she made me up on my wall. We now text and voice message every couple weeks!!! So glad I used globalpenfriends!!!
