What our members say

This is a fun cite to connect with others from around the world. It can be a tad overwhelming, so you need to be organized and remember what you wrote to several different people. I wish there was a way to keep track of interactions and maybe there is if you pay the membership fees.

Hi my name is Nicole I'm from the United States West Palm beach fl. I am half Italian from my mom's side and I would love to speak Italian fluent. I know a little bit but not enough to actually speak the language

Global penfriends has gotten me so many friends. I have met people in france, Australia, and places even farther. I have learned things about places I never knew. I have learned a little bit of france since then and I have met some amazing people on here, with the same interests as me. Very worth it!

Global penfriends is a wonderful online site to connect with friends all over the world. I have been on the site for a few years and met people who became my friends until now. I would definitely recommend this site to others who might be interested in connecting with others around the world. What I really like they have rules and regulations that help guide and keep us safe from unscrupulous persons who have a different agenda from what it should be. In Jamaica we would say, "big up yourself Global Penfriends" continue do the excellent job you are doing. Antoinette from Jamaica 🇯🇲

I like how the website is structured but I wish you could see when the last time people were active. I keep smiling people and I usually get responses like they haven't been active for a while. Id love this to become an app so I can get notifications, plus logging in everytime I open the site is kind of annoying. But I've had lots of success with gaining pen pals!! Love this site it's my go to for snail mail

A very good site, thank you. It should be mandatory for users to have a profile photo. Fix this. Let's make more than one smile. Çok iyi bir site elinize sağlık. Kullanıcıların profil fotosunun olması zorunlu olmali. Bunu düzeltin. Birde birden fazla smile atabilelim.
