What our members say

It is a great chance to meet new penpals. I am a member here since many years. It's also a good help to learn more about other countries.

It’s extremely safe for people of all ages which I find very nice. They also recommend me people I really relate to and just enjoy talking and writing to in general. 10/10 for me. It’s amazing

Growing up i struggled with talking to people face to face but having a site where i don't have to be face to face really helps and it feels much calmer than public xx

It's a wonderful way to learn a language, making friends and sharing experiences. Give it a try and take the best of it!

I wasn't sure about using Global Penfriends when I started but I also wasn't sure how I would find pen pals on my own. Despite being unsure, it has been great! I've got three or four pen pals that I am in regular contact with and I really appreciate the detailed profile you fill out to help connect you with people. Having the online messaging as initial contact is also worth it's weight in gold! Can't recommend this enough for connecting you to pen pals!

Works well enough and I've been able to have some conversations. Wish all conversations could be visible in your mailbox by default
