Global Penfriends is a great platform for meeting people from different cultures and improving language skills.

This site is strict and protect the users. The platform informed me that one user who has been writing to me is a fraud which I am thankful for! I don’t like that we have to upgrade to meet more other people but this is how it works here. It’s also about luck who contacts you. Overall, I like the strict security part.

Around a year or two ago, I met a girl from France on this site and we chatted online for a while, realising we had lots in common and that it was really fun to chat about differences in Scottish and French culture, music, food, school etc. We sent each other physical mail and i still have the pictures she sent and the zine she made me up on my wall. We now text and voice message every couple weeks!!! So glad I used globalpenfriends!!!
