Have been using this site for about a year. Made several meaningful connections. I appreciate how easy it is to use the site as well as the security measures put in place to help establish trust between potential penpals.
The website is very attractive and clearly laid out, and places great emphasis on security. It's perfect for finding new friends all over the world with the concept they offer.
Id recommend this site for anyone wanting to make friends all over the world and for introverted people like myself
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.
I think this is a very good site which is clearly set out and has lots of features. I don't know what else to say
I have enjoyed meeting new people and hearing a bit about how people live in other parts of the world.
Good matches, the exchange of letters is good, only our snail mail systems take their time. It is what it is.
