Letters worth waiting for
In a world of instant messages and vanishing stories, Hundred Miles connects you with a real penpal — someone far enough to be a stranger, close enough to be human. Your letters travel at the speed of distance.

— somewhere far away
Dear friend,
With warmth,
A stranger
1
We find you a penpal at least 100 miles away — a real person, no algorithm, just distance and compatibility.
2
Compose your letter thoughtfully. No character limits, no reactions. Just words on a (digital) page.

Your letter travels at the speed of distance. A few hours, maybe a day. The wait is part of the experience.
"In a world of instant everything, we chose to build something slow."
Hundred Miles was built on a simple belief: the most meaningful conversations happen when you have to think before you speak. When you sit down to write a letter — not dash off a text — you choose your words more carefully. You share more honestly.
We built the distance requirement deliberately. Your penpal is far enough to be outside your social circle, close enough to share a cultural context. Strangers, but not unknowable ones.
P.S. We don't have an algorithm. We never will.
Every penpal must be at least 100 miles away. Distance is the feature, not the bug.
No flood of messages. Each exchange is a single letter, given the weight it deserves.
We never share your exact location. We never sell your data. Your letters are yours.
No engagement traps, no infinite scroll, no "people you may know." Just letters.
