What our members say

I’ve met some great people! I would recommend to anyone else. Easy to use but if it was an app it would be better to work with.

The profile review system should be better, it takes ages and still there are a lot of profiles without picture of description wondering around. Overall It´s good to have a platform like Global Penfriends

I learned about penpaling through tiktok, a random video about it had came up on my fyp and it interested me. I had never been good at making friends irl and always felt like I wasn’t meant to have friends. But penpaling has connected me with amazing people who I can share my interests, experiences, ideas and life with. Definitely recommend.

I am new to this site and not met many people here yet. But here I met my penpal from Netherlands and from then on, it was awesome. Looking forward to having more global penpals.

This site has been amazing for making friends. Some friendships are deep and lasting while others pass like leaves floating along a stream, but each other is beautiful in its own way.
