I have made so many new friends here. Some online only (Epals) and some snail mail friends. I've sent and received some wonderful letters and extra little gifts. I feel safe using the site and I trust them to spot and remove false profiles. 10/10 would recommend.

I am enjoying using the site to connect with people around the country with similar interests to me. Just sending a message every week or two is so beneficial. There is freedom to make as many friends as you want. There is no pressure and so much to learn from others lifestyles and the towns and cities where they live.
