A lovely platform to meet genuine people exchange, cultures, and build meaningful friends worldwide.
I managed to find penpals and global friends! Its actually a really small world because sometimes your penpal knows someone in your life, like what happened to me, where i met my penpals friend even though we were in two different countries, pretty cool!
It's a decent site but not everyone writes regularly, although it's important to find a good fit with people
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!
I have enjoyed meeting new people and hearing a bit about how people live in other parts of the world.
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 enjoy Global Penfriends. I continue to write to a retired senior lady with similar qualities, past times and hobbies. She is from Norway.
Excellent and fantastic site to find penfriends and know new persons. With global penfriends you can have many friends
This website is really good. I like how it checks if every user is safe and I never met a fraud here.
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
