I think they are amazing by letting you connect with people all over the world. I like to connect with different cultures and learning how they live they think and also to give other people a chance to see how other cultures live and how we live our every day lives.

I love everything about this site but I wish it was an app. most of it is easy to use but the text feature makes it a little hard to use.

It already sent me a match, but I didn't notice it until a year ago! Hehe, it was so speedy, but fun

I've tried a few sites and social media groups for pen pals. Global Penfriends is by far the best for making legitimate connections! Of course there have been one or two who seemed like a good match and flaked, but I've made a few meaningful connections with lots of letters and communication. This is the only site I can recommend to others looking to match pen pal connections.

It's a nice platform to find friends around the world. It's also safe since it doesn't allow us to give social medias or other personal details

Great way to practice languages.I’ve improved my language skills and met friendly pen pals. Sometimes it takes time to get replies, but overall it’s a good experience.
