I originally came to this site in search of an Irish or Scottish penpal. Instead, I was contacted by a very interesting gal in Toronto, Canada! We wrote back and forth by email for over a year.

I like it here. It serves my purpose very well. But the limitation on number of messages allowed is a little irritating.

I found the most wonderful penpals here! I can only recommend it. It might take some time until you find the people who match but it's the same in real life isn't it?

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.
