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.
Have been using this site for about a year. Made several meaningful connections. I appreciate how easy it is to use the site as well as the security measures put in place to help establish trust between potential penpals.
This site helps to improve your lanuages without even trying.You get to know people from all around the world and learn about their culture
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!

Hello from France! I love Global Penfriends as it allows chatting, writing, sending postcards and decorated envelopes, and discovering surprises in my mailbox. I’m a tea lover, and I keep a tea journal where I record all the teas I try. I also enjoy scrapbooking. Right now, I’m making ATCs. I love flat stickers, washi tape, and so on. I’m not picky, and it’s such a pleasure to open my mailbox. Wishing everyone a joyful life! Thank you Global Penfriends
Great to hear from someone from another country and ask question on where to go and see in your travels.
