It's an amazing experience. I look forward to reading my messages after a long day at school or responsibilities at home. Everyone is so nice, they LIKE learning about different cultures, and this is why I love it :)

It’s nice to see so many different people in one place. It can be kind of difficult to get a chain of letters going, but everyone is super nice and the site has great safety features!

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.

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!

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 really enjoyed this when I was on here 6-7 years ago. I had met a great pen pal and lost touch, but he was a genuine person. Hope to connect with him or someone else in the future
