I found the most wonderful penpals here! I can only recommend it. It might take some time until you find the people who match but it's the same in real life isn't it?

Being able to communicate without paying. Simply making friends without them expecting something in return.

I originally signed up for this site out of boredom, and I've never expected to make such good friends on here! All the people are very friendly, and they respond quickly most of the time! The only thing that kind of bothers me is that you can only see your last 5 active conversations, unless you pay. Other than that, it's amazing!
