What our members say

I love being able to connect and form genuine connections with anyone from anywhere! This site is the safest site I've used and feel most comfortable using compared to other pen pal sites. I do wish we got more than one contact credit at a time though! (I feel 2 would suffice)

I can't really say much, though I can say that I don't feel like paying for the website - ervything should be free. I am very greatfull that you exist though and will continue to use for free.

I enjoy talking with people all over the world. It's fascinating to learn about their cultures. It's also fun to learn about all the stuff we have in common. Great site for introverts like me to make friends.
