I have used this service for years and never had any trouble just wonderful service. Use it to make friends from around the world that last for years.
Nice site , good to make new friends across the world and learn their culture and language.
This penpalling website has helped me make safe, fun connections with people from all over the world that I wouldn't have met otherwise. Overall, a very good site!
Over the years I’ve used Global Penpals to find me new friends to connect with from around the world and learn about where they live, and forming lasting friendships…. I still keep in touch with one from 2015! When I was at school in the 1970s I used to have over half a dozen penpals (sourced from a specialist newsletter through the post) from all over the world. Having lost touch with them over the years I wanted to rekindle an enjoyable hobby.
Global Penfriends has helped me find lovely penfriends with whom I have been in contact for many years. I've even met one of them in person. I recommend giving it a try.
It's nice the site has requirements to meet before exchanging addresses, so you can vet the other person. I have been able to connect with lots of people here on this site.
It's a safe way to talk to more people, it takes precautions to protect your data, and it's very interactive and fun—I love it!
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
