What our members say

I've been able to write and share experiences with many people that I wouldn't have got to know if I hadn't found this website.

Why using the Internet and forgetting about the best opportunity it provides us with, a chance to share and unite, find a penfriend. Here, on this website, it is easy to do =)

I have met a few real individuals through this site. I appreciate the opportunity to connect via the site rather than directly.

I was house bound and wanted to reach out to others who may be going through the same crap I was and found a wonderful pen pal in another country who I have been communicating with since April.

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.
