I’ve used this site for about…I’m not sure…9 months now? I’ve found so many great people to write to. Best way to find penpals that I’m aware of.

I learned about penpaling through tiktok, a random video about it had came up on my fyp and it interested me. I had never been good at making friends irl and always felt like I wasn’t meant to have friends. But penpaling has connected me with amazing people who I can share my interests, experiences, ideas and life with. Definitely recommend.
