It's a really awesome website, and i've made a lot of new penpal friends! It's so fun to use, but I put only 4 stars because they update all the time and I feel like there needs to be directions on how to work/understand all the new updates.
I've already found a really great friend just from using this, and I hope i'll meet even more! 10/10 <3
Hello from France! I love Global Penfriends as it allows chatting, writing, sending postcards and decorated envelopes, and discovering surprises in my mailbox. I’m a tea lover, and I keep a tea journal where I record all the teas I try. I also enjoy scrapbooking. Right now, I’m making ATCs. I love flat stickers, washi tape, and so on. I’m not picky, and it’s such a pleasure to open my mailbox. Wishing everyone a joyful life! Thank you Global Penfriends
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 have enjoyed meeting new people and hearing a bit about how people live in other parts of the world.
Global Penfriends has helped me find lovely penfriends with whom I have been in contact for many years. I've even met one of them in person. I recommend giving it a try.
This isn't a typical penpal site (you know, where the women get asked re: romantic interest). Global Penfriends is deliberately selective -- focused on building genuine friendships. Thank you!
Excellent and fantastic site to find penfriends and know new persons. With global penfriends you can have many friends
Lovely way to connect with new friends all over the world. I look forward to receiving messages from my friends.
This site is so easy to use, even for someone like me who is very versed in technology. I am hoping to find friends from all walks of life to share cultural experiences among other things
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
