What I love about Global Penfriends is the opportunity to get to know many people. What I don't like is the Contact Credit system.

I found the best penpal ever. We're been chatting since Aug 2023. He's learning my Afrikaans language and his from Brittain. And I learn their weird ways. Thanks for my new friend Global Penfriends.

Global Penfriends is a good site, many options. But I miss being able to go backwards in the list you get. If I want to find someone I looked at before I need to start all over.

I'm learning English and to have a pen pal is a way to improve writing. I'm making friends also! We exchange experiences, feelings and post cards.
