What our members say

This is a great site for finding pen pals. There is good security and advice, so I felt confident using it. I have met some really lovely people on here, and still no weirdos after over a year using it.

I enjoy learning from new people, about new things, from new places that I might never get to see. Live a little adventure through meeting and making new friends. Plus I love writing letters, well writing Anything really! So it's perfect!

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 wish I could delete the conversations of people who don't respond anymore (rather than waiting until the system says they are stale) but other than that its a good site.
