I joined around a year ago (mid feb 2024) hoping to find some global friends. The person i messaged first seemed so lovely and we still talk very often to this day, if your contemplating getting a pen pal through this website, i would highly recomend it. They do not give out adresses easily so your information is incredibly secure. 10/10
