What our members say

i like global penfriends because it really cares about safety like sharing contact details only if trust is build, that’s good but maybe it’s not necessary that people need to have at least two other two way chats to share contact details with a pen pal

It's a wonderful way to learn a language, making friends and sharing experiences. Give it a try and take the best of it!

When I was younger I use to have a Penpal, this is great to connect with other people around the world. Sometimes there has been some creepy people but they are removed quickly.

This is such a cool site, well managed and I would even say needed in today's world. Its nice to have a place where I feel safe making friends from afar, especially for this art form of letters which seems to outdated to most people. Love it!

In my personal experience, this website is a great way to meet new people and make friends! I love the personalization feature where you can select certain circumstances for who you want to talk to. Very safe, reliable, and helpful. (I got a Penpal within a couple months!)
