What our members say

Its easy to make connections i wish more people would take advantage of the sent and received option so can keep track and know whether a letter is on its way or if a penpal has just backed away for what ever reason.

I have tried a few pen pal sites in the past, but Global Pen Friends is the best :) there are no annoying ads, and I really like to see what categories I have in common with the others!

Honestly I don't regret joining the site. I decided to join one day in math class. So far, the site has given me one very close friend from Finland! I enjoy that you can enforce the age groups that can chat with you. I feel less lonely now since I can talk with people around the globe, not just in my town.
