I really enjoy using Global Penfriends! It's such a fun way to meet people from different countries, make new friends and learn about different cultures. I love being able to send messages, get to know people and share things about our lives. It's also exciting getting to talk to people who live somewhere completely different from me. I've had a really good experience so far and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to make friends around the world!
You can find friends here. It is the fact : ) And all depends only from you - your curiosity, your patient and persistence.
I love this website & its purpose! I have made many very sweet penpals here and enjoy the hobby. Meeting people, even without any premium memberships is super easy. Connecting over other Apps later on once one got to know each other should also be possible, to stay in contact better. (getting notifications from their messages, reacting to posts/ stories) Maybe a great alternative to add would be people being able to upload posts to their own profile to show their personality a little better.
Was looking to get back to writing and corresponding. Loved having a penpal as a kid and was happy to find one within 1 week of signing up. The website needs some updating and a more pleasant UX/UI experience but its a great service.
This site is genuinely great for connecting with others throughout the world. I have not yet figured out how to update my profile to reflect more of who I am . Also, email conversation space is limited.
Great to hear from someone from another country and ask question on where to go and see in your travels.
I really like Global Penfriends because I've gotten to meet so many interesting people, who i wouldn't have met otherwise. It's been a great experience. it's given me an opportunity to practice my typing as well. I really like Global Penfriends and would definitely recommend to a friend
Sadly have not connected with many people willing to share their life experiences or cultural differences
I think this is a very good site which is clearly set out and has lots of features. I don't know what else to say
I really like that GPS keeps the platform well-monitored, safe, and clean. It provides a great environment for finding connections. Going forward, I would love to see a larger variety of penpals to choose from in my category, but overall it remains a wonderfully reliable site.
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
