great resource SUPER safety conscious. i made one friend on here so far - thanks Global Penfriends!
I think this is a very good site which is clearly set out and has lots of features. I don't know what else to say
It's a decent site but not everyone writes regularly, although it's important to find a good fit with people
i like it but the website said that it's free but not all the things are free. the other things are great but you have to share your address
It's really great I just wish free members could edit your profile more than 3 times a month. Other than that it's really great
It allows you to meet so many people from so many different places. It is by far the best website I have used to connect with people accross the world. Very safe, and very easy to use. I love it.
Hello from France! I love Global Penfriends as it allows chatting, writing, sending postcards and decorated envelopes, and discovering surprises in my mailbox. I’m a tea lover, and I keep a tea journal where I record all the teas I try. I also enjoy scrapbooking. Right now, I’m making ATCs. I love flat stickers, washi tape, and so on. I’m not picky, and it’s such a pleasure to open my mailbox. Wishing everyone a joyful life! Thank you Global Penfriends
This site is so easy to use, even for someone like me who is very versed in technology. I am hoping to find friends from all walks of life to share cultural experiences among other things
This website has helped me make friends from all over the world, the rules they implement help ensure that everyone is safe!
A very good experience for speaking English with children of the same age, it makes you want to learn. Très bonne expérience pour parler en anglais avec des enfants du même âge, ça donne envie d'apprendre.
