In my personal experience, this website is a great way to meet new people and make friends! I love the personalization feature where you can select certain circumstances for who you want to talk to. Very safe, reliable, and helpful. (I got a Penpal within a couple months!)

This is such a cool site, well managed and I would even say needed in today's world. Its nice to have a place where I feel safe making friends from afar, especially for this art form of letters which seems to outdated to most people. Love it!

I love chatting with everyone on this site! Very interesting to see how others are in other parts of the world. Although it is a little slow meeting people to chat with, I still find this site very enjoyable! I also love how safe it is.
