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
Its great to meet people from around the world. Learning about different cultures and experiences enriches lives.
It has always been a good and convenient site. I would like to give it another try. Various countries are presented
I love the overall safety on here. I have never been contacted by anyone outside of my preferred age group and I feel like it is the perfect level of anonymity considering that we are all strangers who want to find a penpal. I do wish however to some day be able to stay in contact with more people without buying anything. I would also love to add more profile information regarding hobbies and other topics of interest. I would also love appreciate a language learning swap filter (for example, I want to learn Spanish and therefore would love to teach a person who knows Spanish my native tongue). Other than that I’m quite happy and I actually like how there is no app to directly contact people 24/7, since I feel like the whole point of having PenPals in 2026 is to not be available all the time and instead rewind for your new friends what happened over a span of time.
I have been able to make atleast one foreign friend and she is amazing. I love the safety efforts put into making sure that everyone using the website is safe and that I am able to build an actual trusting foundation before my penpal and I take communication further than just the website.
This program is giving me the opportunity to have contact with some pen pals that I wouldn’t have if I wasn’t using Global Penfriends.
One day last year i recieved 2 letters from japan! its so cool and amazing how i can talk to others across the world C:
I love this website because it is soo easy to find friends on here it is so nice nice nice nice nice
I love everything about this site but I wish it was an app. most of it is easy to use but the text feature makes it a little hard to use.
So far its been a good experience, i meet different people, with some of them i exchanged letter, very nice.
