It's been a really good way to meet people in other parts of the world. I have met quite a few on here, but most of my contacts have been genuine.

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.

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.

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.

Can't wait to connect with my new pen pal and learning even more about the different cultures of the world.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this website because I’ve made a few friendships that I hope to continue for a long time. I love that there are security features in place to keep everyone safe and that trust has to be built first before personal information is shared.

I wish I could delete the conversations of people who don't respond anymore (rather than waiting until the system says they are stale) but other than that its a good site.
