I’ve joined Globalpenfriends 6 years ago. The site is easy to navigate (though I wish for a mobile option) and you can search for penfriends by criteria. The options on the personal profile help to match with people with similar interests and sending smiles is a nice way to say Hello. During those years I’ve started many interesting conversations with people from across the world and even found long lasting friendships. I recommend this site to everyone who earnestly wants to connect with people from around the world.

I met a lot of friends from here and got a lot of penpals so I am really happy and satisfied about it! However something I think would be interesting to improve would be notifications. As it's just a website and not an app, we don't get notifications when we got a message from someone. That's too bad. But otherwise I love this website. And what I like the most about it is how safe it is and the fact that there are no fake profiles or weird people.

I tried other websites, but this was the only one where I've been only reached out by people who actually wanted to become pen-pals. You can also select your age group and gender preference, which is always respected. The profile section and the research function are easy to navigate. Overall, I've always had positive experiences so far!
