Nice to have somewhere to get an old fashioned pen pal and to write a letter with a pen is such a blast from the past. Love it.

it’s a good website, however it could use some extra work. such as in the search are and the “save button” so that i won’t have to fix it each time it reloads

I have made so many new friends here. Some online only (Epals) and some snail mail friends. I've sent and received some wonderful letters and extra little gifts. I feel safe using the site and I trust them to spot and remove false profiles. 10/10 would recommend.

I've met lots of people in this site, and it has always been a pleasant experience. I'd love to see their last update in the page, though, cause' sometimes they stop answering, and I get worried for them.

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.
