It allows you to meet so many people from so many different places. It is by far the best website I have used to connect with people accross the world. Very safe, and very easy to use. I love it.
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!
Good matches, the exchange of letters is good, only our snail mail systems take their time. It is what it is.
Global Penfriends has helped me find lovely penfriends with whom I have been in contact for many years. I've even met one of them in person. I recommend giving it a try.
I here met my best friend, people are so kind, love this app. People are also so respectful and patient if you're learning a new languaje
I have enjoyed meeting new people and hearing a bit about how people live in other parts of the world.
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
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
