What our members say

A great site with wonderful people, sometimes you need something to answer, but the virtual smile is just great and shows others that you have seen your profile. Eine tolle Seite mit wundervollen Leuten, manchmal braucht man etwas mit antworten, aber das virtuelle Lächeln ist einfach super und zeigt, den anderen, das man sein Profil gesehen hat.

This is a special way to search for new people, to have new friends or, as I did, to learn or improve a language.

I love this platform! It brought me some amazing new friends and a long lost passion and hobby for making snail mail. I really enjoy it so so much. And it gave me so much. So much more fun than all the digital contacts in this world, absolutely recommend it to anyone!!!

I was skeptical. However, after receiving my first letter, I know I contacted a real person, not an AI generated personality. I hope our relationship continues to grow.

If this was an app it would be a lot easier to use and you would have even more people using it. Love it!

I think they are amazing by letting you connect with people all over the world. I like to connect with different cultures and learning how they live they think and also to give other people a chance to see how other cultures live and how we live our every day lives.

Global Penfriends is such a warm and welcoming space. It makes it easy to connect with kind, creative people from all over the world, and there’s something really special about slowing down and building friendships through letters. Perfect for anyone who loves journaling, stationery, and meaningful connections.
