Global Penfriends is an amazing way to find new penpals and find people from other countries/cultures. It is great to be able to customise searches to what you are looking for and finding good fits for you whether its shared interests or someone to help learn a language with.

Here I found amazing friends who share my interests! It was difficult for me to find friends in my surrounding because no one shared my interests but here I found a lot of people who do share them! Now every time I feel lonely or sad I just need to write a text message to my friend and I'll feel happy in no time! :)

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!

This site has been amazing for making friends. Some friendships are deep and lasting while others pass like leaves floating along a stream, but each other is beautiful in its own way.
