Global Penfriends has helped me find lovely penfriends with whom I have been in contact for many years. I've even met one of them in person. I recommend giving it a try.
Love this site. Found great friendships on here. This site feels very safe to use. I enjoy connecting to people with similar interests as myself.

This penpalling website has helped me make safe, fun connections with people from all over the world that I wouldn't have met otherwise. Overall, a very good site!
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.
It's a decent site but not everyone writes regularly, although it's important to find a good fit with people
This is the best pen friend site I have ever used. They keep us safe and regularly find new friends for me.
Hello from France! I love Global Penfriends as it allows chatting, writing, sending postcards and decorated envelopes, and discovering surprises in my mailbox. I’m a tea lover, and I keep a tea journal where I record all the teas I try. I also enjoy scrapbooking. Right now, I’m making ATCs. I love flat stickers, washi tape, and so on. I’m not picky, and it’s such a pleasure to open my mailbox. Wishing everyone a joyful life! Thank you Global Penfriends
A very good experience for speaking English with children of the same age, it makes you want to learn. Très bonne expérience pour parler en anglais avec des enfants du même âge, ça donne envie d'apprendre.
