What our members say

Honestly I don't regret joining the site. I decided to join one day in math class. So far, the site has given me one very close friend from Finland! I enjoy that you can enforce the age groups that can chat with you. I feel less lonely now since I can talk with people around the globe, not just in my town.

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!

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 :)

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!
