I like the concept and the idea of it and I feel safe when I'm chatting with poeple. I would like to send photos in chats.

It's great that you can choose who can contact you. Especially as a woman it's reassuring to know that not any creepy person can contact you. So far I've only had good experiences with this website and met some very good friends through it.

Global Penfriends has been great for both my kid and I to find penpals. It's a good mix of finding people with keeping your info safe until you want to share.

Honestly I don't regret joining the site. I decided to join one day in math class. So far, the site has given me one very close friend from Finland! I enjoy that you can enforce the age groups that can chat with you. I feel less lonely now since I can talk with people around the globe, not just in my town.
