To be honest this is the best website to find lots of kind people and to make lots of friends! And from this website—I also learn how to send a letter because honestly it's my first time to have a pen pal and it was really great experience. Definitely the best website ever !

It’s nice to see so many different people in one place. It can be kind of difficult to get a chain of letters going, but everyone is super nice and the site has great safety features!

100 % happy about this app. I found few very good and dear friends and step by continuously every day. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to make new friends, but in a slow way with no pressure.
