What our members say

Very secure and friendly, I am still confused about things like what snail mail credits (used to collect postal addresses) are. So fun though!

I started using Global Pen Friends in 2020, then took a break for some time. Now I am back, and I’m really happy I returned. The site is warm and friendly, and I have met kind people and made real friendships. It feels nice to connect with others from different countries and share stories.

This is a special way to search for new people, to have new friends or, as I did, to learn or improve a language.
