I love being able to connect and form genuine connections with anyone from anywhere! This site is the safest site I've used and feel most comfortable using compared to other pen pal sites. I do wish we got more than one contact credit at a time though! (I feel 2 would suffice)

If you don't want to pay, you can use the basic version quite well. However, 20% of other people's profiles are blocked.. But that's a fair price for the free version. I appreciate the ability to record sent and received letter mail.

As a teenager I had 14 penpals from all over the world and I absolutely loved it. Now being a widow and having some free time on my hands I thought how wonderful it would be to have New penpals from around the world to write to that was my main reason for joining this wonderful Site.
