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

It's about having friendships and talking . It's something beyond happiness something that cant replace. I really love to write letters and postcards. Thank you

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.

It's nice to meet real people and make friends. People speak very respectfully thanks to this website. And I made great friends named Max, Timothy and Alastair. This site is truly incredible. Gerçek insanlarla tanışıp arkadaş olmak çok güzel. İnsanlar bu Web sitenin sayesinde oldukça saygılı bir şekilde konuşuyorlar. Ve ben de Max, Timothy ve Alastair adında harika dostlar edindim. Bu site gerçekten inanılmaz bir şey.

I can completely relate to how momentous this is. Finding a friend from another country has been a dream of mine since childhood, and seeing that dream finally come true feels so fulfilling and special. It’s amazing to share that connection across distances!

On this website, I have made more friends than I ever did in school! All of which share the same hobbies and likes as me, it is very comforting. You can also learn about other people’s culture!
