What our members say

It is a great chance to meet new penpals. I am a member here since many years. It's also a good help to learn more about other countries.

I have made some good connections, even with limited time available to participate. I have had a chance to learn more about places I may never get to visit. It reminds me that even with different cultures, there are common threads that bind us all together.

If this was an app it would be a lot easier to use and you would have even more people using it. Love it!

I can completely relate to how momentous this is. Finding a friend from another country has been a dream of mine since childhood, and seeing that dream finally come true feels so fulfilling and special. It’s amazing to share that connection across distances!

I was skeptical. However, after receiving my first letter, I know I contacted a real person, not an AI generated personality. I hope our relationship continues to grow.

I enjoy this site very much, I have met and spoken to wonderful people so far. No snail mail has been sent yet, but I am hoping to exchange snail mail soon and get the hang of things.
