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.

In my personal experience, this website is a great way to meet new people and make friends! I love the personalization feature where you can select certain circumstances for who you want to talk to. Very safe, reliable, and helpful. (I got a Penpal within a couple months!)

When I was younger I use to have a Penpal, this is great to connect with other people around the world. Sometimes there has been some creepy people but they are removed quickly.
