An easy to use, simple & friendly site 😊 I’ve made friends with people I would never have met otherwise. One of whom will be a friend for life!
This site is genuinely great for connecting with others throughout the world. I have not yet figured out how to update my profile to reflect more of who I am . Also, email conversation space is limited.
This penpalling website has helped me make safe, fun connections with people from all over the world that I wouldn't have met otherwise. Overall, a very good site!
Is a great place for ppl to meet new ppl habd make new friends and share interests and hobbies with one another
It's a decent site but not everyone writes regularly, although it's important to find a good fit with people
I think is a great way to learn more and meet new people but I do wish it was an app. I also with it was easier to do things without credits. The credits really frustrate me a little since I come a family that isn’t big on the idea of contacting strangers lol
I appreciate the connections I find on this site. I also appreciate the safety measures and the spirit of friendship. Thank you Global Penfriends.
It's a good Site to meet peaple from other countries and broaden your hirizones of thinking by getting to know different cultures.
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 love it cos, Ive met amazing people on this site and still meeting more!!, i love learning about new music, theatre productions, authors and their books, culture etc!, when i joined penfriends i was abit skepticak at first, but then i got the hang of it and loved it!, i go on it like (NEARLY) everyday!!,
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
