I love the concept of the websites: meeting new people and the slow exchange of emails, it gives me time to think more deeply in an answer. I laso love that I can talk with someone who has a diffrent culture to learn more about it

This site is a great place to start out if you’re new to penpaling. I’ve had great interactions and made my first pen pal via this site. It’s easy to communicate and connect with others, and the policies are great for keeping everyone safe. I highly recommend if you’re looking for easy navigation, tons of options and a safe website.

I really like it and it makes it fairly easy to connect to people. Of course you don't always get people who are actually interested, but that's the user and not the site itself.
