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.

It's a really easy website to navigate. The layout is pretty simple and easy to understand. As well as it is a very secure and I feel safe using it. I don't typically trust penpal websites easily but since people are actually lookin through profiles and have a system for when you're making new friends you understand online safety over personal info I feel safe on it. I also got to meet people both different from me and are similar to me in some ways I enjoy.
