This website is a great way to meet new friends, snail mail penpals, email penpals, etc. I joined to try to make some new friends before travelling overseas, and I have made some wonderful friends through this site.

Hi my name is Nicole I'm from the United States West Palm beach fl. I am half Italian from my mom's side and I would love to speak Italian fluent. I know a little bit but not enough to actually speak the language

I originally signed up for this site out of boredom, and I've never expected to make such good friends on here! All the people are very friendly, and they respond quickly most of the time! The only thing that kind of bothers me is that you can only see your last 5 active conversations, unless you pay. Other than that, it's amazing!

I wanted to start writing to people all over the world, but I had no idea how to do it safely. GlobalPenFriends is what I found to be the most reliable site so far when finding people that are real. But it has its quirks, the site can be kinda laggy, but to be fair I use this solely on my phone. I’m sure it runs a lot more efficiently on a computer or laptop. Of course there are some accounts still on here that are questionable, but far less when compared to other platforms. I haven’t come across any “creepy” people. I recommend it for sure! I have gained a few penpals whom I write to and it’s been a lovely experience so far.
