I like that you can just find a friend to write to and just discuss whatever you want. People are friendly and have different experiences to offer.

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 joined last year after seeing videos of people writing to their penpals and receiving pretty letters, and it was so easy and fun to set up an account. I think the system in which the website works is really cool too. And it's very safe and accessible, and i've met some of my closest friends on here which just opens so many doors, so i really really recommend!!
