It's cool! Connecting with people made easy. I joined because I wanted to talk to people around the world via paper. It's more personal that way.

I tried other websites, but this was the only one where I've been only reached out by people who actually wanted to become pen-pals. You can also select your age group and gender preference, which is always respected. The profile section and the research function are easy to navigate. Overall, I've always had positive experiences so far!

it's hard to find people with similar interests like me and when i do i usually can't text them. But it's still a nice place to meet people.
