Lovely way to connect with new friends all over the world. I look forward to receiving messages from my friends.
I really like Global Penfriends because I've gotten to meet so many interesting people, who i wouldn't have met otherwise. It's been a great experience. it's given me an opportunity to practice my typing as well. I really like Global Penfriends and would definitely recommend to a friend
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 think this is a very good site which is clearly set out and has lots of features. I don't know what else to say
Great way to write and get to know people from all over the world, which is safe in the comfort of your home.
The website is safe and has good safeguarding features. It would be better if it would allow to upload more pictures and if it would let us choose the place of the keepsake.
i like it but the website said that it's free but not all the things are free. the other things are great but you have to share your address
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!
I love it cos, Ive met amazing people on this site and still meeting more!!, i love learning about new music, theatre productions, authors and their books, culture etc!, when i joined penfriends i was abit skepticak at first, but then i got the hang of it and loved it!, i go on it like (NEARLY) everyday!!,
It's a really awesome website, and i've made a lot of new penpal friends! It's so fun to use, but I put only 4 stars because they update all the time and I feel like there needs to be directions on how to work/understand all the new updates.
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
