This is a great website where I’ve found a few but a lot accounts, Good response but some may not answer messages

Growing up i struggled with talking to people face to face but having a site where i don't have to be face to face really helps and it feels much calmer than public xx

this website is great! It is super safe too! The website ensures you talk enough to your penpal so you get to know them. It also approves everyone who makes an account. Overall I think this website is a great way to communicate to people all around the world!

I started using Global Pen Friends in 2020, then took a break for some time. Now I am back, and I’m really happy I returned. The site is warm and friendly, and I have met kind people and made real friendships. It feels nice to connect with others from different countries and share stories.

I enjoy writing to people and learning about them and their culture. Great way to make friendships! Such a variety of people to get to know!

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!

Very secure and friendly, I am still confused about things like what snail mail credits (used to collect postal addresses) are. So fun though!

I was skeptical. However, after receiving my first letter, I know I contacted a real person, not an AI generated personality. I hope our relationship continues to grow.

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!)
