It's really great I just wish free members could edit your profile more than 3 times a month. Other than that it's really great
Nice site , good to make new friends across the world and learn their culture and language.
I came here for a penpal hobby, and i met so many amazing people! so many letters! so much fun! 100% recommend!
I really love this website as it provides filters and has a lot of functions to find people with similar interests! There is a smile function that can help if you are a bit shy.
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.
I have meet very interesting people with gentle chats whenever it suits me and often educated myself on differing ways of life, hobbies and environments.
great resource SUPER safety conscious. i made one friend on here so far - thanks Global Penfriends!
Good matches, the exchange of letters is good, only our snail mail systems take their time. It is what it is.
A lovely platform to meet genuine people exchange, cultures, and build meaningful friends worldwide.
Have been using this site for about a year. Made several meaningful connections. I appreciate how easy it is to use the site as well as the security measures put in place to help establish trust between potential penpals.
