What our members say

I have thoroughly enjoyed this website because I’ve made a few friendships that I hope to continue for a long time. I love that there are security features in place to keep everyone safe and that trust has to be built first before personal information is shared.

It's great that you can choose who can contact you. Especially as a woman it's reassuring to know that not any creepy person can contact you. So far I've only had good experiences with this website and met some very good friends through it.

This is the only site that I trust to find new penpal friends. I’ve tried so many others that are odd or aren’t as thorough with screening. I love it so far.

Ive been here about several months, and I have very nice pen pals i regularly keep in touch with. The variety of countries is very good. My pen pals write with a nice frequency and always have interesting things to say. Always enjoy getting a pen friends mail in my mailbox!
