individuals may be different in color, size, interest and taste but at the end of the day getting to know others is always a welcome feeling.

It’s a really good website and super easy to finish people to talk to!But the only issue is the communication, you have to constantly refresh the website just to see if you’ve had a message or not and I get you can use emails but it’s still a pain to go on emails every single time I’m wondering if I’ve gotten a message back.And then it’s also very annoying when people don’t reply because their account has been inactive for a while but it doesn’t state that anywhere or suddenly alert the person in a better way that a have a message after a really long time.over all an amazing website and I’ve gained a lot of penpals from it!

On this website, I have made more friends than I ever did in school! All of which share the same hobbies and likes as me, it is very comforting. You can also learn about other people’s culture!

In my personal experience, this website is a great way to meet new people and make friends! I love the personalization feature where you can select certain circumstances for who you want to talk to. Very safe, reliable, and helpful. (I got a Penpal within a couple months!)

This is a special way to search for new people, to have new friends or, as I did, to learn or improve a language.
