I really enjoy using this pen pal website! It’s easy to use, safe, and I’ve met some wonderful people from all over the world. It’s a great way to practice languages and learn about different cultures.

Found a friend for life as this platform allows me to socialise with people I would not normally be able to talk to

I was house bound and wanted to reach out to others who may be going through the same crap I was and found a wonderful pen pal in another country who I have been communicating with since April.

It helps you easily find friends with the same interests as you, but people don't always respond to your messages. I like how a lot of it is connected to culture, like the cultural keepsake.

I have built meaningful global friendships thanks to this platform. The site does a great job of vetting individuals to avoid individuals looking for partners.
