I love chatting with everyone on this site! Very interesting to see how others are in other parts of the world. Although it is a little slow meeting people to chat with, I still find this site very enjoyable! I also love how safe it is.

A great site with wonderful people, sometimes you need something to answer, but the virtual smile is just great and shows others that you have seen your profile. Eine tolle Seite mit wundervollen Leuten, manchmal braucht man etwas mit antworten, aber das virtuelle Lächeln ist einfach super und zeigt, den anderen, das man sein Profil gesehen hat.

I've tried a few sites and social media groups for pen pals. Global Penfriends is by far the best for making legitimate connections! Of course there have been one or two who seemed like a good match and flaked, but I've made a few meaningful connections with lots of letters and communication. This is the only site I can recommend to others looking to match pen pal connections.

I love everything about this site but I wish it was an app. most of it is easy to use but the text feature makes it a little hard to use.
