It's an amazing experience. I look forward to reading my messages after a long day at school or responsibilities at home. Everyone is so nice, they LIKE learning about different cultures, and this is why I love it :)

I’ve been using this site for a few months now and I’ve really enjoyed it! I’ve met one of my best friends from Iran on this site and we still talk to each other, as well as one of my other friends from England! While I do use the free version of this website and there are certain limits that come with it, I’ve really enjoyed my time on the website and I will love to continue meeting people on it. I love making friends!

Global Penfriends has been very helpful for finding penpals! It has a very simple way to find people similar to you and makes it very easy to contact them. The only problem is that some things cost money, which then doesn't allow many people to do certain things on the website. Besides that, it is a very good site for finding pen pals!
