What our members say

Penpal-ing and making friends are my favorite things to do. I still remember the first letter I had ever sent and ever received, it was the best feeling in the world. Without Global Penfriends, none of that would have been possible. So thank you GP, for making this experience memorable, fun, and safe.

It's been a really good way to meet people in other parts of the world. I have met quite a few on here, but most of my contacts have been genuine.

This is a site I feel safe on. I have made some wonderful friends around the world and I see now we can share pictures right here with each other. I love learning and sharing information about our different cultures and I hope these will remain lifelong friends.

Global penfriends has gotten me so many friends. I have met people in france, Australia, and places even farther. I have learned things about places I never knew. I have learned a little bit of france since then and I have met some amazing people on here, with the same interests as me. Very worth it!
