What our members say

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.

This is such a cool site, well managed and I would even say needed in today's world. Its nice to have a place where I feel safe making friends from afar, especially for this art form of letters which seems to outdated to most people. Love it!
