This is an excellent resource to obtain snail mail penpals, thanks! I have conversed back and forth at least once with three new people so far. Experiences have been positive.

This website helped me fulfill my dream of connecting with other people and penpalling! The security is great and this website is trustworthy. The only problem is the moderating on profiles. Profile pictures are not reviewed carefully. I uploaded pictures of fruit or drawings and it was rejected, so this part could be better. Other than that this is a great site i love it!!
