I have enjoyed using Globak Penfriends to meet people from different countries and cultures. The website is easy to use, and it is a great place to make genuine friends, practice languages, and learn a bout the world. I recommend it to anyone looking for international friendsships.

I love this website & its purpose! I have made many very sweet penpals here and enjoy the hobby. Meeting people, even without any premium memberships is super easy. Connecting over other Apps later on once one got to know each other should also be possible, to stay in contact better. (getting notifications from their messages, reacting to posts/ stories) Maybe a great alternative to add would be people being able to upload posts to their own profile to show their personality a little better.

I like the website very much. Its set up neatly, so youll find everything without any trouble. The structure off the profiles are pretty good aswell, they give a gernell idea weither you would get allonw with the people or not most of the times. Turning it up a notch Id love to see an app so you wont always have it open a web browser. I havent really tried the premium version, but thats mostly because I see no reason for me to purcase it.

Thanks for giving us this platform. I've met really interesting people from across the world. I've only recently joined the snail mail community, and I have to say that it is really fun waiting for a letter and also writing and sending it.

I really love this website as it provides filters and has a lot of functions to find people with similar interests! There is a smile function that can help if you are a bit shy.

I got to meet my online friend that I really like. The website is really well made! It keeps reminding you of security measures, doesn’t pressure you into anything. The description that we need to fill is really fun to and it’s easy to find people that have the same aspiration as you (penpal, roam, langage learning). Thank you!!
