Good site, easy to navigate, lots of pals to choose from. Made some great pen friends here. Highly recommended but of course always choose with care.

I signed up for global pen friends as a project with my English class and was able to receive mail from10 different countries. It was very special.

Global penfriends has gotten me so many friends. I have met people in france, Australia, and places even farther. I have learned things about places I never knew. I have learned a little bit of france since then and I have met some amazing people on here, with the same interests as me. Very worth it!

I really enjoyed it, but I would like it better if there was a possibility to give out a mail point other than my address. It might be only because I don't know how to do it, though, i'm pretty new to penpalling. But, as a new penpaller, I really like this website because you can meet people a little more easily and safely than on social media, and there isn't the wait time before recieving the letter as for other penpalling apps.

I made a lot of friends on this site who love to share their experiences, I lost some of them, I found others, they are all writing in international languages, that s why it is so simple to be in contact wirh eachother.

The contacts I've got through GP have mostly been like-minded friendly people. Some have promised too much or even lied about themselves on their profile pages, but this is rather easy to detect quite soon. Thanks to GP, I have made solid, long-lasting friendships with several people from around the globe. The platform offered by GP is the best I've found on the internet.

its really good i've made lots of friends but there are lots of banner ads blocking the screen and a lot of important words like the post received I can barely see anything there. ik u need money and I don't mind them too much, but pls at least lemme see the words. and pls lemme see more than the last 5 active conversations maybe 10 for free? then for more u get premuim? I want to talk to all my friends :( pls fix those things then u get 5 stars. Everything for free.

This is a fun cite to connect with others from around the world. It can be a tad overwhelming, so you need to be organized and remember what you wrote to several different people. I wish there was a way to keep track of interactions and maybe there is if you pay the membership fees.
