What our members say

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.

To be honest this is the best website to find lots of kind people and to make lots of friends! And from this website—I also learn how to send a letter because honestly it's my first time to have a pen pal and it was really great experience. Definitely the best website ever !

I really enjoy that Global Pen-friends is sending me suggestions for new Pen-pals. The ones I have been writing to are not always reliable and sometimes do not write for a long time, even though we get along very well. Thank you for hosting this site, it has been a lot of fun.

I have found nice people in Global Penfriends. I hope I could one day make a snail mail penpal beacause I love to write on a sheep of paper and receive foreign letters.
