For me, this website was a very good idea. You can easily find new friends all around the world, being able to share your culture and learn from other. It's also pretty safe, so it provides a comfortable experience.

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

I wanna meet snail mail penpals and someone I can speak French with since I’m learning the language but I am interested in having penpals from anywhere. Pictures and postcards will sometimes be sent from my end. Feel free to do the same.

I can't really say much, though I can say that I don't feel like paying for the website - ervything should be free. I am very greatfull that you exist though and will continue to use for free.

It's a very easy-to-use and very secure application. I like it because I feel safe using it and connecting with other users, and it also protects user data.

I wasn't sure about using Global Penfriends when I started but I also wasn't sure how I would find pen pals on my own. Despite being unsure, it has been great! I've got three or four pen pals that I am in regular contact with and I really appreciate the detailed profile you fill out to help connect you with people. Having the online messaging as initial contact is also worth it's weight in gold! Can't recommend this enough for connecting you to pen pals!
