I meet good pen-pals here. I feel happy when I receive letters. Now we exchange culture. That's great that somewhere has a person who have same thoughts with you. Thank you!

It's nice that there is again a way to get in touch with people around the world via the old postal service, in addition to the whole social media thing.

This website is really nice for finding all sorts of friends! Sadly some people can get inactive for weeks, if not months, which is a bit sad. But once you find someone who's filling to talk to you then it's very pleasant and I'm very grateful for this website!

My experience has been nothing short of safe and comfortable. I felt comfortable and enjoy the safety measures of the site.

I have built meaningful global friendships thanks to this platform. The site does a great job of vetting individuals to avoid individuals looking for partners.

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.

I wanna meet snail mail penpals and someone I can speak French with since I’m learning the language but I am interested in having penpals from anywhere. Pictures and postcards will sometimes be sent from my end. Feel free to do the same.
