I’ve been using this site for a few months now and I’ve really enjoyed it! I’ve met one of my best friends from Iran on this site and we still talk to each other, as well as one of my other friends from England! While I do use the free version of this website and there are certain limits that come with it, I’ve really enjoyed my time on the website and I will love to continue meeting people on it. I love making friends!
