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.

To be honest this is the best website to find lots of kind people and to make lots of friends! And from this website—I also learn how to send a letter because honestly it's my first time to have a pen pal and it was really great experience. Definitely the best website ever !

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.

This site is so amazing! It has honestly helped me learn so much about the world from others perspectives and make new friends! The site is incredibly safe, easy to navigate, and it really helps that the staff and other pen friends are so kind! Thank you so much Global Penfriends for introducing me to a side of life I otherwise would've never known!
