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.

I have built meaningful global friendships thanks to this platform. The site does a great job of vetting individuals to avoid individuals looking for partners.

This website is really nice for finding all sorts of friends! Sadly some people can get inactive for weeks, if not months, which is a bit sad. But once you find someone who's filling to talk to you then it's very pleasant and I'm very grateful for this website!

It feels so safe here since humans always review the accounts and it’s also interesting. The way tge profile is built and the questions that are on each profile make it easy for people to talk
