This is such a cool site, well managed and I would even say needed in today's world. Its nice to have a place where I feel safe making friends from afar, especially for this art form of letters which seems to outdated to most people. Love it!

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.
