What our members say

Lovely site to meet friends to exchange ideas and/or opinions. It also brings the world closer to home. I love travel and have natural curiousity about people and how/where they live.

It is a website where people really look for real friendship and everybody presents themselves the way they like without being obliged to go through a stupid and annoying psychological test.

I love global penfriends. I wanted to make new friends across the world and this website has been a blessing. The communication feels safe because of the vetting. I have made a best friend from another country and am so thankful for this website.

I like that you can just find a friend to write to and just discuss whatever you want. People are friendly and have different experiences to offer.

I found the whole process very easy and have made lots of new friends. Also love the fact that Global Penfriends are very security conscious and have removed a couple of penpals who may have been scammers. I would thoroughly recommend
