I was anxious and nervous in the beginning, but now I am willing to trust this friendship with all of my heart.

This girl two thousand kilometers away, who just wrote to me, a total stranger, here on Slowly, became such a big part of my everyday life.

In Russia it is so hard to find someone, who could understand you and you would talk freely, without any fears!

I want to share some glimpses of my new found friendship, thanks to this wonderful app.

I never expected such lively and diverse conversations, which constantly break down stereotypes that I have about other countries.

I took off my mask and for the first time I ever tried to be honest.

I’ve been using Slowly since October 2018, when preparing a post-graduation course applying New Technologies to English Language Teaching.

Politically there are no good relations but through Slowly I made some Indian friends. I am glad to have such a deep conversation with them.

I've found so many close and fantastic friendships here that trying to narrow it down to just one was impossible...

She is 7 years-old younger than me, we started to connect through Slowly sharing our habits & thoughts ‘in almost 100%’ in common.

When the time comes for them to replied rarely, please understand that they also have a life then let them go if they're suddenly left...

Everytime she used to say that she couldn't imagine waking up one day and not seeing that a letter was arriving from me, she'd feel upset about it...
