i am very looking forward to making new friends. As this will help build my confidence as i am a very introvert person. I enjoy writing my own stories in general. I am a very artistic woman my interests are watching anime. My favourite show is my hero academia

Have been in contact with a few people in the space of a few days who I hope to become penpals with. Found the process easy.

The way to send eachother your address is not very well explained and not everyone feels comfortable exchanging addresses over this messaging. Also most people never respond back or don’t pen pal so you do get lucky is someone does respond back.

This site has been amazing for making friends. Some friendships are deep and lasting while others pass like leaves floating along a stream, but each other is beautiful in its own way.
