How SlowJourney works
Five simple steps from a first hello to a friendship that lasts. Every one of them is designed to be unhurried.
- 1
Tell us what you're working toward
Add your goals and the languages you speak and are learning. This is what we match on.
- 2
Discover real people
Browse real profiles filtered by country and goal, see a compatibility score, and bookmark the ones you want to write to first.
- 3
Write a letter
Take your time. Free accounts can write up to 200 words per letter, and Pro extends that to 1,000.
- 4
Watch it travel
Your letter is delivered after a delay based on distance, a nod to real international mail without the multi-week wait.
- 5
Grow the friendship
Keep writing and delivery gets a little faster as your friendship levels up. Streaks and shared challenges give it a visible shape.
Letters never arrive instantly
Delivery time depends on distance and how deep your friendship has grown. Pro members can also send letters at 1.25x, 1.5x, or 2x speed.
