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!!

I have been writing paper letters to many countries since childhood. There is a large selection of friends, everything is clearly organized. There are photos, maps, information about new friends and much more. I have found great friends here and I am grateful for that. I like reading about their countries, their interests. I would recommend this application to everyone. It is a very friendly environment.
