What our members say

I think is a great way to learn more and meet new people but I do wish it was an app. I also with it was easier to do things without credits. The credits really frustrate me a little since I come a family that isn’t big on the idea of contacting strangers lol

I like the website very much. Its set up neatly, so youll find everything without any trouble. The structure off the profiles are pretty good aswell, they give a gernell idea weither you would get allonw with the people or not most of the times. Turning it up a notch Id love to see an app so you wont always have it open a web browser. I havent really tried the premium version, but thats mostly because I see no reason for me to purcase it.

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.
