What our members say

a website is as good as the people who are on there... I value the different ways to become a pen pal. even i am not interested in snail mail, as it is too expensiv. in the past, i made the experience it is a great thing to not only get to know a person, but also the life where this person is living. it is like travelling without leaving home.

Global Penfriends has been great for both my kid and I to find penpals. It's a good mix of finding people with keeping your info safe until you want to share.
