I met a friend I love very much here. I am happy to use this place. Maybe it would be better. I cant see where there was a place to send emojis or stickers

I can completely relate to how momentous this is. Finding a friend from another country has been a dream of mine since childhood, and seeing that dream finally come true feels so fulfilling and special. It’s amazing to share that connection across distances!

I enjoy talking with people all over the world. It's fascinating to learn about their cultures. It's also fun to learn about all the stuff we have in common. Great site for introverts like me to make friends.

I enjoy using Global Penfriends. I've met gorgeous people. I feel save while using the website. It would be nice if there is an option to share electronic cards (like post cards) with penpals.
