It's a really good site. It’s just a shame that if you don’t pay, you can only have a limited number of conversations and some features aren’t available.
I've already found a really great friend just from using this, and I hope i'll meet even more! 10/10 <3
I came here for a penpal hobby, and i met so many amazing people! so many letters! so much fun! 100% recommend!
I love this website & its purpose! I have made many very sweet penpals here and enjoy the hobby. Meeting people, even without any premium memberships is super easy. Connecting over other Apps later on once one got to know each other should also be possible, to stay in contact better. (getting notifications from their messages, reacting to posts/ stories) Maybe a great alternative to add would be people being able to upload posts to their own profile to show their personality a little better.
I enjoy writing letters by hand and getting to know people from other parts of the planet whom it would otherwise be practically impossible for me to meet. I’m glad this site exists.
Good matches, the exchange of letters is good, only our snail mail systems take their time. It is what it is.
Very fun. I haven’t had any problems, people are generally kind. I’m fairly busy and sometimes it takes me a little while to respond 🙂
Sadly have not connected with many people willing to share their life experiences or cultural differences
It allows you to meet so many people from so many different places. It is by far the best website I have used to connect with people accross the world. Very safe, and very easy to use. I love it.
It's a really awesome website, and i've made a lot of new penpal friends! It's so fun to use, but I put only 4 stars because they update all the time and I feel like there needs to be directions on how to work/understand all the new updates.
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
