What our members say

I enjoy talking with people all over the world. It's fascinating to learn about their cultures. It's also fun to learn about all the stuff we have in common. Great site for introverts like me to make friends.

So far so good. I love that this site exists and I don't have to rely on social media to find pen friends.

Amazing site to find potential lifelong friends. I’ve been on this website for a few months and have already found several connections!

It's nice that there is again a way to get in touch with people around the world via the old postal service, in addition to the whole social media thing.

I meet good pen-pals here. I feel happy when I receive letters. Now we exchange culture. That's great that somewhere has a person who have same thoughts with you. Thank you!

I think the only downfall is that to have more perks you have to pay. However, I can’t deny that this site isn’t good!

I really like the website. It has given me the opportunity to get to know like-minded people in a safe and secure way. The way the platform looks is also nice. If only I could give an advice, that would be have a button or something similar in our profile where we can let other users know whether we’re searching for a penpal at a certain moment or not.
