I really enjoy using Global Penfriends! It's such a fun way to meet people from different countries, make new friends and learn about different cultures. I love being able to send messages, get to know people and share things about our lives. It's also exciting getting to talk to people who live somewhere completely different from me. I've had a really good experience so far and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to make friends around the world!
Was looking to get back to writing and corresponding. Loved having a penpal as a kid and was happy to find one within 1 week of signing up. The website needs some updating and a more pleasant UX/UI experience but its a great service.
Global Penpals has been a good experience for me. I found a great friend and penpal very quickly and we are enjoying getting letters snail mail,
It's nice the site has requirements to meet before exchanging addresses, so you can vet the other person. I have been able to connect with lots of people here on this site.
You can find friends here. It is the fact : ) And all depends only from you - your curiosity, your patient and persistence.
It's a good Site to meet peaple from other countries and broaden your hirizones of thinking by getting to know different cultures.
It's really great I just wish free members could edit your profile more than 3 times a month. Other than that it's really great
This site is so easy to use, even for someone like me who is very versed in technology. I am hoping to find friends from all walks of life to share cultural experiences among other things
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.
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
