I think this site is so good, it really does give you a great and safe way to experience new cultures through friendship while also sharing yours!

I really like the idea of this ,like bringing back penpals. It's a really unique experience and I like the fact that each profile goes under verification to ensure more safety among the users. The only thing that I'd say was not necessary is the fact that profiles are restricted and you have to pay.Even so, it's a fun experience

It's nice that there is again a way to get in touch with people around the world via the old postal service, in addition to the whole social media thing.

Very easy to navigate and kind of limited when your account isn't upgraded. But over time you can gradually make friends from around the world, or even selective regions.

It is a good and proven true website because i found new friends and this site also protects users by setting guidelines which is good because they have a disciplinary actions.

I can't really say much, though I can say that I don't feel like paying for the website - ervything should be free. I am very greatfull that you exist though and will continue to use for free.
