It's a really easy website to navigate. The layout is pretty simple and easy to understand. As well as it is a very secure and I feel safe using it. I don't typically trust penpal websites easily but since people are actually lookin through profiles and have a system for when you're making new friends you understand online safety over personal info I feel safe on it. I also got to meet people both different from me and are similar to me in some ways I enjoy.

I met a friend I love very much here. I am happy to use this place. Maybe it would be better. I cant see where there was a place to send emojis or stickers

If you don't want to pay, you can use the basic version quite well. However, 20% of other people's profiles are blocked.. But that's a fair price for the free version. I appreciate the ability to record sent and received letter mail.

Its amazing and you can meet so many people on here! Though it can be a bit difficult with current times to send snail mail.
