Recommended, except that a friend I write letters to has been blocked, and now I don't know her last name to send the letter to, and I really liked her!

I love the overall safety on here. I have never been contacted by anyone outside of my preferred age group and I feel like it is the perfect level of anonymity considering that we are all strangers who want to find a penpal. I do wish however to some day be able to stay in contact with more people without buying anything. I would also love to add more profile information regarding hobbies and other topics of interest. I would also love appreciate a language learning swap filter (for example, I want to learn Spanish and therefore would love to teach a person who knows Spanish my native tongue). Other than that I’m quite happy and I actually like how there is no app to directly contact people 24/7, since I feel like the whole point of having PenPals in 2026 is to not be available all the time and instead rewind for your new friends what happened over a span of time.

I have made some good connections, even with limited time available to participate. I have had a chance to learn more about places I may never get to visit. It reminds me that even with different cultures, there are common threads that bind us all together.

A great site with wonderful people, sometimes you need something to answer, but the virtual smile is just great and shows others that you have seen your profile. Eine tolle Seite mit wundervollen Leuten, manchmal braucht man etwas mit antworten, aber das virtuelle Lächeln ist einfach super und zeigt, den anderen, das man sein Profil gesehen hat.
