a website is as good as the people who are on there... I value the different ways to become a pen pal. even i am not interested in snail mail, as it is too expensiv. in the past, i made the experience it is a great thing to not only get to know a person, but also the life where this person is living. it is like travelling without leaving home.

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!
