I made many new friends through this site. It's always exciting to open my mailbox and find a letter or postcard there from a Penpal.

I met some of the nicest and smartest people ever!!! It also helped a lot with breaking down stereotypes and learning about someone else's culture

I like the concept and the idea of it and I feel safe when I'm chatting with poeple. I would like to send photos in chats.

I live in a flat landlocked country with long winters and short summers. It can be very beautiful here, but I love the sea. The site expands my world when my pen pals tell me about their countries. It's not like watching National Geographic. I feel like I've been to the mountains or the sea.

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!
