Als journalist hou ik ervan om meer te leren over mensen en hoe zij het leven ervaren. Slowly heeft me echter in staat gesteld om verder te gaan dan ik had verwacht.

Deep down, I think everyone longs to find out what's beyond the confines of their own culture—the huge world at large.

It all started with "Saudações cara compatriota!" ("Greetings my fellow compatriot!") and in total, we ended up exchanging 103 letters.

By simply letting our personalities flow through our letters, we were able to convey to others who we are despite the distance.

Ze luisteren naar mij, stellen me gerust en ik weet dat alles uiteindelijk goed komt.

“Hier zijn geen vreemden; alleen vrienden die je nog niet hebt ontmoet” Is een quote exact voor SLOWLY

Toen ik weer met mensen begon te interageren, merkte ik dat ik betere gesprekken kon voeren en op een dieper niveau met mensen kon verbinden.

Maybe not all people are interested in this topic. But compared with the instant chats, writing here is more healing for my soul. I feel accepted in the decent way of talking.

Slowly is the best place for shy and talkative people for building friendships. Slowly also allows me to learn other foreign languages...

I had not, up to that point, received such a unique piece of correspondence, and it sure made its mark on my personal experience.

I can’t tell why this word “hopeless romantic” can give me such a strong feeling that even kept me awaking during the nights...

Some conversations have allowed me to learn something new or interesting about the world or even about myself...
