I enjoy talking with people all over the world. It's fascinating to learn about their cultures. It's also fun to learn about all the stuff we have in common. Great site for introverts like me to make friends.

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.

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.

I found amazing pals here! Certainly no stalkers here. I am yet to try Snail Mail, though. Overall, I am having a wonderful experience with the website - easy navigation too.
