Clean, easy to use website that doesn't give me the creep factor because of the vetting process. I've already met several amazing people!

I have met so many beautiful people here. Thanks to this website, I have close friends living kilometers away yet so close to my heart. This website has also improved itself a lot since I joined.

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.

i joined last year after seeing videos of people writing to their penpals and receiving pretty letters, and it was so easy and fun to set up an account. I think the system in which the website works is really cool too. And it's very safe and accessible, and i've met some of my closest friends on here which just opens so many doors, so i really really recommend!!

Is a really good site ive made a few friends and I like that there's safety limits before sharing personal info byt I wish it was in a app so that I dont have to keep searching for it and logging in again and again

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!!

So far I have made a few friends and everything is going well. I don't have any complaints and haven't had any problems.
