It’s an okay site try it for yourself. I wanted to meet new people from around the world so I joined.

I love writing but with all the technology and fast movement I yearned for something slower, more intimate and nostalgic. I guess it's the millenial in me but i HAVE enjoyed using this platform so much and being able to connect with people all over the world. My fav thing is getting to know someone and crafting a beautiful letter for them.

It makes it easy to connect with kind, creative people from all over the world, and there’s something really special about slowing down and building friendships through letters. Perfect for anyone who loves journaling, stationery, and meaningful connections.
