What our members say

I met a lot of friends from here and got a lot of penpals so I am really happy and satisfied about it! However something I think would be interesting to improve would be notifications. As it's just a website and not an app, we don't get notifications when we got a message from someone. That's too bad. But otherwise I love this website. And what I like the most about it is how safe it is and the fact that there are no fake profiles or weird people.

I joined this site to get back into the Penpal hobby and I am impressed so far by the security protocols in place. This makes me feel better about reaching out to prospective Penpals on this site, because I know that they too must have passed the security checks in order to join.

I enjoy talking and meeting people here, it is so fun to me, because I feel like the old times when people used email to keep in contact with each other, plus texting here at the end of the day to my friends worldwide is so comforting. Like, every day I look forward to text them about my day.

I'm now writing letters to friends all over the world, and I'm so excited when I get a letter in the post from Canada or Australia or America. We keep it safe, and after getting to know each other on the platform, we do one Zoom meeting, so my mom knows everything is OK, and then we start writing! We send pressed flowers and stickers and drawings and puzzles. I love all of my new friends!
