I have met a couple people to message with on the app, I just have not met anyone who is willing to send postcards or letters yet. Hopefully soon.

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.
