What our members say

I started using Global Pen Friends in 2020, then took a break for some time. Now I am back, and I’m really happy I returned. The site is warm and friendly, and I have met kind people and made real friendships. It feels nice to connect with others from different countries and share stories.

I have made some good connections, even with limited time available to participate. I have had a chance to learn more about places I may never get to visit. It reminds me that even with different cultures, there are common threads that bind us all together.

I was skeptical. However, after receiving my first letter, I know I contacted a real person, not an AI generated personality. I hope our relationship continues to grow.
