What our members say

I enjoy talking with people all over the world. It's fascinating to learn about their cultures. It's also fun to learn about all the stuff we have in common. Great site for introverts like me to make friends.

It feels so safe here since humans always review the accounts and it’s also interesting. The way tge profile is built and the questions that are on each profile make it easy for people to talk

I really like the website. It has given me the opportunity to get to know like-minded people in a safe and secure way. The way the platform looks is also nice. If only I could give an advice, that would be have a button or something similar in our profile where we can let other users know whether we’re searching for a penpal at a certain moment or not.

Why using the Internet and forgetting about the best opportunity it provides us with, a chance to share and unite, find a penfriend. Here, on this website, it is easy to do =)
