What our members say

Global penfriends has gotten me so many friends. I have met people in france, Australia, and places even farther. I have learned things about places I never knew. I have learned a little bit of france since then and I have met some amazing people on here, with the same interests as me. Very worth it!

I have made great friends and shared ideas. I loved sharing ideas with different people from different countries. I have changed my perspective on being alone in the world.

The contacts I've got through GP have mostly been like-minded friendly people. Some have promised too much or even lied about themselves on their profile pages, but this is rather easy to detect quite soon. Thanks to GP, I have made solid, long-lasting friendships with several people from around the globe. The platform offered by GP is the best I've found on the internet.

I live in a flat landlocked country with long winters and short summers. It can be very beautiful here, but I love the sea. The site expands my world when my pen pals tell me about their countries. It's not like watching National Geographic. I feel like I've been to the mountains or the sea.
