Honestly I don't regret joining the site. I decided to join one day in math class. So far, the site has given me one very close friend from Finland! I enjoy that you can enforce the age groups that can chat with you. I feel less lonely now since I can talk with people around the globe, not just in my town.

I decided to create an account here based on a Reddit post I saw. It's always been on my bucket list to have a pen pal, so I don't regret my decision at all! Overall, it's been a positive experience

Ive been here about several months, and I have very nice pen pals i regularly keep in touch with. The variety of countries is very good. My pen pals write with a nice frequency and always have interesting things to say. Always enjoy getting a pen friends mail in my mailbox!

I have tried a few pen pal sites in the past, but Global Pen Friends is the best :) there are no annoying ads, and I really like to see what categories I have in common with the others!

This site is a great way to connect with awesome people from across the globe! My main complaint is that there's a limit to the amount of conversations you can have going at once. Also I have too many pen pals now, but I discovered that there's an option to suspend your account so new people don't contact you, which is a handy feature of the site! Overall, I would totally recommend!
