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.

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.
