It is a great chance to meet new penpals. I am a member here since many years. It's also a good help to learn more about other countries.

I meet good pen-pals here. I feel happy when I receive letters. Now we exchange culture. That's great that somewhere has a person who have same thoughts with you. Thank you!

This website is really nice for finding all sorts of friends! Sadly some people can get inactive for weeks, if not months, which is a bit sad. But once you find someone who's filling to talk to you then it's very pleasant and I'm very grateful for this website!

I started using Global Pen Friends in 2020, then took a break for some time. Now I am back, and I’m really happy I returned. The site is warm and friendly, and I have met kind people and made real friendships. It feels nice to connect with others from different countries and share stories.

I can completely relate to how momentous this is. Finding a friend from another country has been a dream of mine since childhood, and seeing that dream finally come true feels so fulfilling and special. It’s amazing to share that connection across distances!
