What our members say

I like that you can just find a friend to write to and just discuss whatever you want. People are friendly and have different experiences to offer.

This is a great site to meet and make new friends all over the world! Personally, I really value being able to physically hold and see real letters from friends and this is a great way to meet new friends!

This is an excellent resource to obtain snail mail penpals, thanks! I have conversed back and forth at least once with three new people so far. Experiences have been positive.

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.

I have been corresponding with the same person weekly for the last few months. I don't socialize much in person anymore so this is a nice way to be able to interact

It’s nice to see so many different people in one place. It can be kind of difficult to get a chain of letters going, but everyone is super nice and the site has great safety features!

This site is strict and protect the users. The platform informed me that one user who has been writing to me is a fraud which I am thankful for! I don’t like that we have to upgrade to meet more other people but this is how it works here. It’s also about luck who contacts you. Overall, I like the strict security part.
