A great site with wonderful people, sometimes you need something to answer, but the virtual smile is just great and shows others that you have seen your profile. Eine tolle Seite mit wundervollen Leuten, manchmal braucht man etwas mit antworten, aber das virtuelle Lächeln ist einfach super und zeigt, den anderen, das man sein Profil gesehen hat.

I always wanted to try penpalling but didn't know how to find penpals,until I saw some recommendations for Global Penfriends. I personally think it's really safe with some aspects in the website.

I was skeptical. However, after receiving my first letter, I know I contacted a real person, not an AI generated personality. I hope our relationship continues to grow.
