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)

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.

This site is asking. I originally thought to try penpals to get my kids interested in it. I don't want expecting to meet my best friend on this site. And no we didn't know each other beforehand. Thank you Global Penpals!!!!

A very good site, thank you. It should be mandatory for users to have a profile photo. Fix this. Let's make more than one smile. Çok iyi bir site elinize sağlık. Kullanıcıların profil fotosunun olması zorunlu olmali. Bunu düzeltin. Birde birden fazla smile atabilelim.
