I didn't know what to expect as a free member, but I have five pen pals now from all over. It's a lovely web site, and it feels very safe.

This site is a great way to connect with awesome people from across the globe! My main complaint is that there's a limit to the amount of conversations you can have going at once. Also I have too many pen pals now, but I discovered that there's an option to suspend your account so new people don't contact you, which is a handy feature of the site! Overall, I would totally recommend!
