It both helps me improve my language skills and the communication skills that I lack in real life.

Just like many other female citizen of third world country, I was treated like convicting any shameful act.

We stayed few days together in Zagreb, discovering the city, sharing experiences and adventures...

So, after a week of sending letters in Slowly, he asked me to meet up...

Ik had niet verwacht dat iemand ooit tegen me zou praten zoals mijn eerste penvriend me schreef.

These days we were unable to stop exchanging letters, I learned a lot about where he lives, his culture and his people even from the smallest thing.

Op sommige dagen stond ik zelfs om 5 uur 's morgens al op om zijn brief te beantwoorden, opdat we ieder uur van de dag konden benutten en twee rondes in 24 uur konden maken.

Safety first because this is going to be the one reason why you download Slowly.

I have made two best friends that I will never forget nor lose contact with.

They have helped me to understand about my own cultural identity – my way of thinking, my way of life. I am a third-generation Nikkei from São Paulo.

Later on, I met three penpals who became very important in my life.

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.
