This is a great platform to find genuine friends. You can find friends who are interested in the same things as you are.

I made lots of friends on here. The site is easy to navigate, and I feel safe on this website from weirdos. Thank you.

I got to meet my online friend that I really like. The website is really well made! It keeps reminding you of security measures, doesn’t pressure you into anything. The description that we need to fill is really fun to and it’s easy to find people that have the same aspiration as you (penpal, roam, langage learning). Thank you!!

Over the years I’ve used Global Penpals to find me new friends to connect with from around the world and learn about where they live, and forming lasting friendships…. I still keep in touch with one from 2015! When I was at school in the 1970s I used to have over half a dozen penpals (sourced from a specialist newsletter through the post) from all over the world. Having lost touch with them over the years I wanted to rekindle an enjoyable hobby.
