I really enjoyed this when I was on here 6-7 years ago. I had met a great pen pal and lost touch, but he was a genuine person. Hope to connect with him or someone else in the future

a website is as good as the people who are on there... I value the different ways to become a pen pal. even i am not interested in snail mail, as it is too expensiv. in the past, i made the experience it is a great thing to not only get to know a person, but also the life where this person is living. it is like travelling without leaving home.

100 % happy about this app. I found few very good and dear friends and step by continuously every day. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to make new friends, but in a slow way with no pressure.
