What our members say

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.

I really enjoy that Global Pen-friends is sending me suggestions for new Pen-pals. The ones I have been writing to are not always reliable and sometimes do not write for a long time, even though we get along very well. Thank you for hosting this site, it has been a lot of fun.

I like the website very much. Its set up neatly, so youll find everything without any trouble. The structure off the profiles are pretty good aswell, they give a gernell idea weither you would get allonw with the people or not most of the times. Turning it up a notch Id love to see an app so you wont always have it open a web browser. I havent really tried the premium version, but thats mostly because I see no reason for me to purcase it.
