I had signed up a while back but never got around to looking for a penpal. I have been so excited at the thought of making new friends in another state or even a whole other country. I cant wait to see what lies ahead.. Have fun everyone

I like it here. It serves my purpose very well. But the limitation on number of messages allowed is a little irritating.

I met my friend in Global Penfriends. We are talking for almost 5 months now. I learned so much about her culture, and made connections beyond the border of my country. Even if we are separated by great distance, I can say she is my bestie.
