What our members say

the site is okay, tho it tends to sign me out every time I exit the browser even if it's for 2 minutes

I like global penfriends because it allows you to get to know people in a safe way. It's fun to write to people from different countries. That way you learn more about the world.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this website because I’ve made a few friendships that I hope to continue for a long time. I love that there are security features in place to keep everyone safe and that trust has to be built first before personal information is shared.

I like the concept and the idea of it and I feel safe when I'm chatting with poeple. I would like to send photos in chats.

This website helped me fulfill my dream of connecting with other people and penpalling! The security is great and this website is trustworthy. The only problem is the moderating on profiles. Profile pictures are not reviewed carefully. I uploaded pictures of fruit or drawings and it was rejected, so this part could be better. Other than that this is a great site i love it!!

I have been corresponding with the same person weekly for the last few months. I don't socialize much in person anymore so this is a nice way to be able to interact
