I wish we weren't limited to just messaging 1 new person a day and that we weren't blocked from speaking to random members without upgrading.

I am very happy to have so many nice penpals I can connect with, and learn from. Penfriends has given me opportunities for sharing my interests and experiences, but it has also been a way to practice my language skills. Thank you!

Great website, loves the way it can connect people while simultaneously disconnecting people from the internet and doom scrolling. I think old timey letters should be brought back and this is the perfect way to do it.

I love this site because it's so simple to use and to find people to connect with. The profiles are easy to fill in and help you find good matches for penpals, and the free version works very well considering it is free! I can't comment on the paid version as I don't have it, but I think the benefits would be well worth it!

I was worried that I would not be able to get along with them because I was worried about my English, but many of them are very kind and I feel safe and secure using them!

It takes time. In my opinion I've had good conversations with some really nice down to earth people. Male and female.
