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.
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
i have just started, enjoying it so far and meeting new people, hope to build new friendships.......
I think this is a very good site which is clearly set out and has lots of features. I don't know what else to say
Great to hear from someone from another country and ask question on where to go and see in your travels.
I love the site and how it has personal approval of profiles, I have built friendship and I also have undesired profiles remove without me stepping in. thanks for such safe and wonderful site.
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,
This website has helped me make friends from all over the world, the rules they implement help ensure that everyone is safe!
Sadly have not connected with many people willing to share their life experiences or cultural differences
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
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
