What our members say

It's a nice platform to find friends around the world. It's also safe since it doesn't allow us to give social medias or other personal details

I love this website since I can easily find so many penpals! It’s easy to use and pretty safe which is great. The only thing I don’t like are the ads when using the site for free!

This is a fun cite to connect with others from around the world. It can be a tad overwhelming, so you need to be organized and remember what you wrote to several different people. I wish there was a way to keep track of interactions and maybe there is if you pay the membership fees.

I met my friend in Global Penfriends. We are talking for almost 5 months now. I learned so much about her culture, and made connections beyond the border of my country. Even if we are separated by great distance, I can say she is my bestie.

I like how the website is structured but I wish you could see when the last time people were active. I keep smiling people and I usually get responses like they haven't been active for a while. Id love this to become an app so I can get notifications, plus logging in everytime I open the site is kind of annoying. But I've had lots of success with gaining pen pals!! Love this site it's my go to for snail mail
