I met some of the nicest and smartest people ever!!! It also helped a lot with breaking down stereotypes and learning about someone else's culture

This website allowed me to learn from the people I engaged with; knowing that people come from different culture and backgrounds. The struggles of everyday life and how they are coping with it made me feel I am not alone. Just being there, writing to each other makes one feel that even the smallest things matters….knowing you have a mail.;)

Clean, easy to use website that doesn't give me the creep factor because of the vetting process. I've already met several amazing people!

It’s nice to see so many different people in one place. It can be kind of difficult to get a chain of letters going, but everyone is super nice and the site has great safety features!

I wish I could delete the conversations of people who don't respond anymore (rather than waiting until the system says they are stale) but other than that its a good site.
