It helps you easily find friends with the same interests as you, but people don't always respond to your messages. I like how a lot of it is connected to culture, like the cultural keepsake.

If you don't want to pay, you can use the basic version quite well. However, 20% of other people's profiles are blocked.. But that's a fair price for the free version. I appreciate the ability to record sent and received letter mail.

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.
