I have made many overseas pal from this site and have been writing to friends for over 20 plus years. A wonderful site to find lifetime friendships

This site has made a huge effort in seeing to it that members don't get scammed by sharing information with other members prematurely. They have specific timeframes as to when one can share pertinent contact information with each other.

I really enjoyed it, but I would like it better if there was a possibility to give out a mail point other than my address. It might be only because I don't know how to do it, though, i'm pretty new to penpalling. But, as a new penpaller, I really like this website because you can meet people a little more easily and safely than on social media, and there isn't the wait time before recieving the letter as for other penpalling apps.

I have been able to make atleast one foreign friend and she is amazing. I love the safety efforts put into making sure that everyone using the website is safe and that I am able to build an actual trusting foundation before my penpal and I take communication further than just the website.

I made 3 friends that I've sent letters to back and forth. This is a great site if you're looking for pen pal friends!

I originally came to this site in search of an Irish or Scottish penpal. Instead, I was contacted by a very interesting gal in Toronto, Canada! We wrote back and forth by email for over a year.

I appreciate the new safety features, however I do wish you could access you whole mailbox without credits but I understand that's how the money is made I suppose. I did buy access and snail mail credits and now I'm content with the number of pen pals I have. This has been a wonderful resource for me in connecting to people around the world safely, without the vanity of "social media" & everything that comes with that. Here, it's simply about making friends via the messaging first and then once getting to know them better, exchanging postal addresses & emails etc. I find being able to record pen friend's postal addresses and update mail status is very helpful. Thank you for being an option for pen palling!
