What our members say

I live in a flat landlocked country with long winters and short summers. It can be very beautiful here, but I love the sea. The site expands my world when my pen pals tell me about their countries. It's not like watching National Geographic. I feel like I've been to the mountains or the sea.

I met a few good friends from different countries, I met a few of them when I went to overseas. it's a good way to learn another culture and broader our knowledge. I wish I could put the picture when I told them my story.

Lovely site to meet friends to exchange ideas and/or opinions. It also brings the world closer to home. I love travel and have natural curiousity about people and how/where they live.

It's been a really good way to meet people in other parts of the world. I have met quite a few on here, but most of my contacts have been genuine.

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.

This site is strict and protect the users. The platform informed me that one user who has been writing to me is a fraud which I am thankful for! I don’t like that we have to upgrade to meet more other people but this is how it works here. It’s also about luck who contacts you. Overall, I like the strict security part.
