What our members say

Honestly, I'm going to use it now; I don't think I'll be disappointed. I like meeting people from other countries, and I suppose this website is more reliable than others.

I have made great friends and shared ideas. I loved sharing ideas with different people from different countries. I have changed my perspective on being alone in the world.

This website allowed me to learn from the people I engaged with; knowing that people come from different culture and backgrounds. The struggles of everyday life and how they are coping with it made me feel I am not alone. Just being there, writing to each other makes one feel that even the smallest things matters….knowing you have a mail.;)

I enjoy learning from new people, about new things, from new places that I might never get to see. Live a little adventure through meeting and making new friends. Plus I love writing letters, well writing Anything really! So it's perfect!

a website is as good as the people who are on there... I value the different ways to become a pen pal. even i am not interested in snail mail, as it is too expensiv. in the past, i made the experience it is a great thing to not only get to know a person, but also the life where this person is living. it is like travelling without leaving home.
