An easy to use, simple & friendly site 😊 I’ve made friends with people I would never have met otherwise. One of whom will be a friend for life!
I'm so glad I found this website for sending letters and learning new stories from people all over the world; it's a new hobby I'm really enjoying. Me alegra haber encontrado esta pagina web para enviar cartas y conocer nuevas historias de personas de diferentes partes del mundo, es un nuevo hobbie que estoy disfrutando
This site is genuinely great for connecting with others throughout the world. I have not yet figured out how to update my profile to reflect more of who I am . Also, email conversation space is limited.
A very good experience for speaking English with children of the same age, it makes you want to learn. Très bonne expérience pour parler en anglais avec des enfants du même âge, ça donne envie d'apprendre.
I enjoy Global Penfriends. I continue to write to a retired senior lady with similar qualities, past times and hobbies. She is from Norway.

This isn't a typical penpal site (you know, where the women get asked re: romantic interest). Global Penfriends is deliberately selective -- focused on building genuine friendships. Thank you!
It's a decent site but not everyone writes regularly, although it's important to find a good fit with people
