What our members say

Thanks for giving us this platform. I've met really interesting people from across the world. I've only recently joined the snail mail community, and I have to say that it is really fun waiting for a letter and also writing and sending it.

I’ve been using this site for a few months now and I’ve really enjoyed it! I’ve met one of my best friends from Iran on this site and we still talk to each other, as well as one of my other friends from England! While I do use the free version of this website and there are certain limits that come with it, I’ve really enjoyed my time on the website and I will love to continue meeting people on it. I love making friends!

I got to meet my online friend that I really like. The website is really well made! It keeps reminding you of security measures, doesn’t pressure you into anything. The description that we need to fill is really fun to and it’s easy to find people that have the same aspiration as you (penpal, roam, langage learning). Thank you!!
