If you seek to make new aquaintances and learn about other cultures, Global Penfriends really is the site for you! I also like that you can remain anonymous at first, if you want to, without having to upload a picture nor your real name. That makes it safer as well.
I have made quality friends on this site. Good innovation. I'm from Nigeria and chat with friends from Newfoundland Italy Sweden and United kingdom. It's like WOW!!!
