great resource SUPER safety conscious. i made one friend on here so far - thanks Global Penfriends!
This isn't a typical penpal site (you know, where the women get asked re: romantic interest). Global Penfriends is deliberately selective -- focused on building genuine friendships. Thank you!
I've always enjoyed receiving snail mail and this is A great way to keep old fashioned traditions alive!
It is a great site to connect with people from across the globe, and does an excellent job ensuring the safety and ease of everyone involved!
It allows you to meet so many people from so many different places. It is by far the best website I have used to connect with people accross the world. Very safe, and very easy to use. I love it.
I enjoy Global Penfriends. I continue to write to a retired senior lady with similar qualities, past times and hobbies. She is from Norway.
Have been using this site for about a year. Made several meaningful connections. I appreciate how easy it is to use the site as well as the security measures put in place to help establish trust between potential penpals.
This site is a really calm and nice place to communicate with people around the world. Keep going my fellas :)
I love this website. It gave me the opportunity to see the other side of the world, and I've made many friends. I feel lucky to have opened this website in 2023. It gave me the opportunity to communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds and share things we both like. I feel incredibly happy about this. Perhaps this is some kind of destiny guiding me? In any case, I'm grateful for the existence of this website. 我很喜欢这个网站，它给我看见世界另一端的机会，我也认识了很多朋友，我感到幸运，在23年打开了这个网站，我有了和不同文化背景人们的交流机会，分享着我们共同喜欢的事物，我对此感到无比的幸福，这或许也是冥冥之中命运的指引吗？无论如何，感谢这个网站的存在
I enjoy writing letters by hand and getting to know people from other parts of the planet whom it would otherwise be practically impossible for me to meet. I’m glad this site exists.
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
