What our members say

the site is okay, tho it tends to sign me out every time I exit the browser even if it's for 2 minutes

Clean, easy to use website that doesn't give me the creep factor because of the vetting process. I've already met several amazing people!

I have been writing paper letters to many countries since childhood. There is a large selection of friends, everything is clearly organized. There are photos, maps, information about new friends and much more. I have found great friends here and I am grateful for that. I like reading about their countries, their interests. I would recommend this application to everyone. It is a very friendly environment.
