Met a few amazing people here!! Learnt about their culture and personality. I love penpal apps, it was nice to find this one.
Good matches, the exchange of letters is good, only our snail mail systems take their time. It is what it is.
An easy to use, simple & friendly site 😊 I’ve made friends with people I would never have met otherwise. One of whom will be a friend for life!
Over the years I’ve used Global Penpals to find me new friends to connect with from around the world and learn about where they live, and forming lasting friendships…. I still keep in touch with one from 2015! When I was at school in the 1970s I used to have over half a dozen penpals (sourced from a specialist newsletter through the post) from all over the world. Having lost touch with them over the years I wanted to rekindle an enjoyable hobby.
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
It's a safe way to talk to more people, it takes precautions to protect your data, and it's very interactive and fun—I love it!
Efficient and easy to use. Well vetted and safe. A wide variety of people in every age range with similar interests and hobbies.After my husband died I was lonely but now have pen pals to email, this makes life more interesting.
I found 2 penfriends on this site. It's easy to navigate and I love that the site is not full with adds. Helps to use it even on my phone. The search function helps to pick a person to write to. The limit per day for non paying users is a bit annoying but I understand that globalpenfriends.com need a reason that you're joining.
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.
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
