Have met a couple of good pen pals & hope to meet more. I do wish the site didn't charge a fee for extra features, including a block from contacting certain people unless you pay the fee. If not for that, I'd give 5 stars.
Global Penfreinds has enabled me to make new friends, learn about different cultures, get to acquire new knowledge and also get to see the wonders of the world through the eyes of the different people we meet through the site.
This site is really safe and let's me connect preferable with people who have been recently online, so it's almost sure that I'll get an answer. Only con is waiting every 12 hours for a new contact credit, but otherwise this is my favorite pen pal site!
I was really worried about getting pen pals at first because of safety, but Global Penfriends is so safe! I found some really great pen pals on this site.
