What our members say

It helps you easily find friends with the same interests as you, but people don't always respond to your messages. I like how a lot of it is connected to culture, like the cultural keepsake.

I really enjoy using this pen pal website! It’s easy to use, safe, and I’ve met some wonderful people from all over the world. It’s a great way to practice languages and learn about different cultures.

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
