I'm really happy with this website which allowed me to meet some friends around the world, helped me learn languages (mainly german) and discover other cultures ❤️

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.
