What our members say

This website allowed me to learn from the people I engaged with; knowing that people come from different culture and backgrounds. The struggles of everyday life and how they are coping with it made me feel I am not alone. Just being there, writing to each other makes one feel that even the smallest things matters….knowing you have a mail.;)

Its easy to make connections i wish more people would take advantage of the sent and received option so can keep track and know whether a letter is on its way or if a penpal has just backed away for what ever reason.
