This site is so easy to use, even for someone like me who is very versed in technology. I am hoping to find friends from all walks of life to share cultural experiences among other things
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 appreciate the connections I find on this site. I also appreciate the safety measures and the spirit of friendship. Thank you Global Penfriends.
It's nice the site has requirements to meet before exchanging addresses, so you can vet the other person. I have been able to connect with lots of people here on this site.
This penpalling website has helped me make safe, fun connections with people from all over the world that I wouldn't have met otherwise. Overall, a very good site!
