This website help me to find most of my penpals! So good. I tried another website, but search is doesn't work well, and I couldn't limit who could write to me, and it was terrible, I deleted the account right away. But here on Global Penfriends, I haven't noticed anything like that for more than six months of use! Thank you so much!

I first discovered this website during the covid era and met 2 long-term penpals that I am immensely grateful for. I very much appreciate that the profiles get checked regularly and that the website is strictly dedicated to penpals and not e.g. dating. I also like the design of the profiles. The design is perfect to look what is important and serves its purpose, without excessive graphic and distracting details. I like the filters as well. I think the chances to find a lng-term penpal on this website is very high. I am giving 5 stars.
