I have been corresponding with the same person weekly for the last few months. I don't socialize much in person anymore so this is a nice way to be able to interact

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!

I live in a flat landlocked country with long winters and short summers. It can be very beautiful here, but I love the sea. The site expands my world when my pen pals tell me about their countries. It's not like watching National Geographic. I feel like I've been to the mountains or the sea.

This site is strict and protect the users. The platform informed me that one user who has been writing to me is a fraud which I am thankful for! I don’t like that we have to upgrade to meet more other people but this is how it works here. It’s also about luck who contacts you. Overall, I like the strict security part.
