I joined GPF in order to learn more about people and get a better idea of how I could interact with them better. I have found some excellent friends on here and am finding new ways to use this platform more efficiently.

This website is really nice for finding all sorts of friends! Sadly some people can get inactive for weeks, if not months, which is a bit sad. But once you find someone who's filling to talk to you then it's very pleasant and I'm very grateful for this website!

I enjoy using Global Penfriends. I've met gorgeous people. I feel save while using the website. It would be nice if there is an option to share electronic cards (like post cards) with penpals.

I really like the website. It has given me the opportunity to get to know like-minded people in a safe and secure way. The way the platform looks is also nice. If only I could give an advice, that would be have a button or something similar in our profile where we can let other users know whether we’re searching for a penpal at a certain moment or not.

It’s extremely safe for people of all ages which I find very nice. They also recommend me people I really relate to and just enjoy talking and writing to in general. 10/10 for me. It’s amazing

Works well enough and I've been able to have some conversations. Wish all conversations could be visible in your mailbox by default
