Wonderful way of making new friends and learning about cultures from across the globe. I've found it's a really great way to learn languages also

I have linked up with people around the globe and they have enriched my life with their letters (snail mail). There is nothing like getting a proper letter!

Around a year or two ago, I met a girl from France on this site and we chatted online for a while, realising we had lots in common and that it was really fun to chat about differences in Scottish and French culture, music, food, school etc. We sent each other physical mail and i still have the pictures she sent and the zine she made me up on my wall. We now text and voice message every couple weeks!!! So glad I used globalpenfriends!!!

This is a great site for finding pen pals. There is good security and advice, so I felt confident using it. I have met some really lovely people on here, and still no weirdos after over a year using it.
