What our members say

It helps you easily find friends with the same interests as you, but people don't always respond to your messages. I like how a lot of it is connected to culture, like the cultural keepsake.

I was house bound and wanted to reach out to others who may be going through the same crap I was and found a wonderful pen pal in another country who I have been communicating with since April.

It's nice that there is again a way to get in touch with people around the world via the old postal service, in addition to the whole social media thing.

It's a very easy-to-use and very secure application. I like it because I feel safe using it and connecting with other users, and it also protects user data.

I really like the website. It has given me the opportunity to get to know like-minded people in a safe and secure way. The way the platform looks is also nice. If only I could give an advice, that would be have a button or something similar in our profile where we can let other users know whether we’re searching for a penpal at a certain moment or not.

Works well enough and I've been able to have some conversations. Wish all conversations could be visible in your mailbox by default
