Before joining Global PenFriends I had looked other options that are available. I love the checks that are done for safety. The cost is what i can afford. To put a price on friendship I understand there needs to be some but thankfully this site makes it affordable for lonely people to chat to other lonely people in the world.
I managed to find penpals and global friends! Its actually a really small world because sometimes your penpal knows someone in your life, like what happened to me, where i met my penpals friend even though we were in two different countries, pretty cool!
It has everything in it, like searching some friend by language, age. it show what she loved too, perfect
Good matches, the exchange of letters is good, only our snail mail systems take their time. It is what it is.
I have found a great friend, I'm glad to be a member. Thank you all for this Chanel, that like us with great people.
I found 2 penfriends on this site. It's easy to navigate and I love that the site is not full with adds. Helps to use it even on my phone. The search function helps to pick a person to write to. The limit per day for non paying users is a bit annoying but I understand that globalpenfriends.com need a reason that you're joining.
I love this website & its purpose! I have made many very sweet penpals here and enjoy the hobby. Meeting people, even without any premium memberships is super easy. Connecting over other Apps later on once one got to know each other should also be possible, to stay in contact better. (getting notifications from their messages, reacting to posts/ stories) Maybe a great alternative to add would be people being able to upload posts to their own profile to show their personality a little better.
I've already found a really great friend just from using this, and I hope i'll meet even more! 10/10 <3
A lovely platform to meet genuine people exchange, cultures, and build meaningful friends worldwide.
