I found several penpals with globalpenfriends and become great friends with people all around the world! I‘m so obsessed with it (even tho its a little annoying that you can only see last 5 active chats)

I love this website since I can easily find so many penpals! It’s easy to use and pretty safe which is great. The only thing I don’t like are the ads when using the site for free!

It’s a really good website and super easy to finish people to talk to!But the only issue is the communication, you have to constantly refresh the website just to see if you’ve had a message or not and I get you can use emails but it’s still a pain to go on emails every single time I’m wondering if I’ve gotten a message back.And then it’s also very annoying when people don’t reply because their account has been inactive for a while but it doesn’t state that anywhere or suddenly alert the person in a better way that a have a message after a really long time.over all an amazing website and I’ve gained a lot of penpals from it!

I've tried a few sites and social media groups for pen pals. Global Penfriends is by far the best for making legitimate connections! Of course there have been one or two who seemed like a good match and flaked, but I've made a few meaningful connections with lots of letters and communication. This is the only site I can recommend to others looking to match pen pal connections.

I enjoy this site very much, I have met and spoken to wonderful people so far. No snail mail has been sent yet, but I am hoping to exchange snail mail soon and get the hang of things.

I love chatting with everyone on this site! Very interesting to see how others are in other parts of the world. Although it is a little slow meeting people to chat with, I still find this site very enjoyable! I also love how safe it is.
