A great way to meet new people around the world and make friends. I'm enjoying getting to know the people I've met through the site so far.

I'm so grateful to whoever created this site because it's fantastic. They've connected me with so many people, including some I've met during my travels. Going back to places where we used to take the time is truly wonderful, and rediscovering the joy of having real things to talk about. Je remercie vraiment ceux qui ont créé ce site parce qu’il est super. Ils m’ont mis en correspondance avec plusieurs personnes et même certaines que j’ai pu rencontrer pendant mes voyages. Revenir autant où on prenait le temps et vraiment génial et redécouvrir le fait d’avoir vraiment des choses à se dire!

It's a nice platform to find friends around the world. It's also safe since it doesn't allow us to give social medias or other personal details

I have been able to make atleast one foreign friend and she is amazing. I love the safety efforts put into making sure that everyone using the website is safe and that I am able to build an actual trusting foundation before my penpal and I take communication further than just the website.

This is a fun cite to connect with others from around the world. It can be a tad overwhelming, so you need to be organized and remember what you wrote to several different people. I wish there was a way to keep track of interactions and maybe there is if you pay the membership fees.
