Three days after the two-year anniversary of our first letter, something incredible happened: we met in person.

I have a beautiful memory of friendship: the time I met my penpal in person after three years of writing letters to each other.

I do feel like an old friend who longing each other and finally reunited after a long time separated.

I pray and hope we cross each other's paths sometime sooner than later.

We spent a pleasant afternoon in downtown Mexico City, walking around Bellas Artes and going to a classic café in the Torre Latinoamericana. A unique experience.

We talked as easily in real life as we did in the app, wandered around the mall and ate dessert at Dippin’ Dots...

We exchanged a few handwritten letters (until mine was lost in the mail), met a few times to work together in a café or walk along the Seine.

Next month, we’ll finally overcome the 320 km that separate us and meet in person.
