It's great that you can choose who can contact you. Especially as a woman it's reassuring to know that not any creepy person can contact you. So far I've only had good experiences with this website and met some very good friends through it.

Its very easy to navigate things, ensures safety when verifying profiles, no paywall, and i can find people of my age without being called out for being too young!

I like the concept and the idea of it and I feel safe when I'm chatting with poeple. I would like to send photos in chats.

This is the only site that I trust to find new penpal friends. I’ve tried so many others that are odd or aren’t as thorough with screening. I love it so far.

I have made great friends and shared ideas. I loved sharing ideas with different people from different countries. I have changed my perspective on being alone in the world.
