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.
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
I really like the idea of a penfriend site! 😊 It is a great way for people from different places to meet, communicate, share experiences, and learn about different cultures. The site can help users build genuine friendships through messages!
I really like Global Penfriends because I've gotten to meet so many interesting people, who i wouldn't have met otherwise. It's been a great experience. it's given me an opportunity to practice my typing as well. I really like Global Penfriends and would definitely recommend to a friend
An easy to use, simple & friendly site 😊 I’ve made friends with people I would never have met otherwise. One of whom will be a friend for life!
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 have found new friends here and absolutely love getting to know them and learning about the places they live and sending and recieving gifts with them. I've found lifelong friends.
I love this website. It gave me the opportunity to see the other side of the world, and I've made many friends. I feel lucky to have opened this website in 2023. It gave me the opportunity to communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds and share things we both like. I feel incredibly happy about this. Perhaps this is some kind of destiny guiding me? In any case, I'm grateful for the existence of this website. 我很喜欢这个网站，它给我看见世界另一端的机会，我也认识了很多朋友，我感到幸运，在23年打开了这个网站，我有了和不同文化背景人们的交流机会，分享着我们共同喜欢的事物，我对此感到无比的幸福，这或许也是冥冥之中命运的指引吗？无论如何，感谢这个网站的存在
I found 2 penfriends on this site. It's easy to navigate and I love that the site is not full with adds. Helps to use it even on my phone. The search function helps to pick a person to write to. The limit per day for non paying users is a bit annoying but I understand that globalpenfriends.com need a reason that you're joining.
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.
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
