On Line dating for the over 60sI never thought once you are over 60 to find someone is difficult. Is dating site the answer? The fear of scammers is a problem for me.ViewDate:

Make new friendsHi Jenny is this message for me? Because I did not speak about socializing, I am a bit puzzled with your answer? Anyway interesting to know what you have written, it seems a lovely place where your daughter lives to see deers jumping in front of you. It is certainly better than city lives. Unfortunately thieves are every where I think even if you go the moon you will find thieves. It is not only virus you have to think about humans too because they are capable of behaving like a virus. Be safe and take care Regards CharlesViewDate:

TRAVELING SOLO AND LOOKING FOR A COMPANION?Hi Babs Thanks for the message. I have been to Manchester few times. Last time I was there an I was In Old Trafford to watch Genesis reunion tour. I am happy to hear that you were in Sri Lanka. I go there almost every year. For you the country is changing very fast and maybe you will not recognize it. The changes are mainly in big Towns, such as Colombo and Galle. After 25 years civil war and the places you could visit is possible to visit. No more military check points so they are positive things that I like. Tradition and culture is changing because of the young generation. Tourism was booming before COVID-19 unfortunately it halted the boom completely now. It is very sad because people was making there living out of it. I was promoting or attempting to promote tourism to SL. when COVID-19 arrived. If you are interested please visit my website. http://www.journaltotravel.com . I am at the moment in Central America exactly in Panama. I been here for the last 2 years traveling. Now I got stuck here in Panama. I was scheduled to return in end of February 2020, but I missed my flight then COVID 19 hit the world. Panama was very quick to react, they imposed a whole day curfew to the whole country to protect us. The police control and restriction to go out only to do grocery shopping. Example me I have a 2 hour window to do my shopping in a week I get 4 hours, that is 2 different days. Then they shut the Airport end of February and no commercial flights in and out of Panama since end of Feb. I think they would like to reopen on 26 this month but I doubt if they open I must get out quick before they shut again. The positive aspect is that COVID 19 did not spread here. I live in remote area and I have no idea about COVID and what is happening in the world until I read or see news. Nice to hear from you and I hope you keep in touch. Regards CharlesViewDate:

TRAVELING SOLO AND LOOKING FOR A COMPANION?Hi folks, I am a keen traveler but if you are single you have no other choice as to travel solo. The problem Is once you get used to it and you keep on traveling solo. Now I am getting fed up of it traveling solo, and naturally like a companion but it is easy said and done. How are you going to find somebody. I find it expensive to travel solo when it comes to searching for accommodation. Not many hotels offer you single rooms. I find it sometimes better to book a double room and sleep in a big bed not the ideal thing but saves money. I find it difficult when you go for a meal especially in the evenings and it is so boring to eat alone. I am bit of the romantic side. Some hotels do have a lovely arranging on a beach with candles and stuff like that then you sit alone. I do not enjoy but you do it as no other choice. Years of solo traveling is getting on my nerves. If anybody is interested please get in touch but doubt it. I live in hope so why not try. If not I keep traveling alone because I am used to itViewDate:

Make new friendsHi Suzy and what a beautiful name and I will be proud to have a name like that. It is my first time in a site like this and actually I registered in Silversufers perhaps I am bored. At the moment I am not in U.K.. I am in Panama, was traveling in Central America for the last 2 years. Before the coranavirus started I was planing to return to U.K. but it did not happen. Then everything came to a standstill. Panama acted very fast when the coranavirus hit USA. Panama imposed whole day curfew since end of February we under curfew. They shut the Airport and no comercial flight in and out of Panama. They take it serious and protect us with curfew and only controlled and restricted time out to do grocery shopping. By acting fast Panama minimize the damage from coranavirus. Panama Government hopes to open the Airport by end of this month. They want to start with comercial flights very slowly. I hope by July or August to be back in U.K. I am enjoying here, I am in a remote area and I do not notice that the world is suffering from a pandemic until I watch the news. I have hot sunny weather I lay in my hammock the whole day dreaming. When I leave I will miss the sun, the food, fruit, the country, the Panamanians,and naturally my hammock. I love to travel and love to see other cultures. Before coming here I was in a Greek Island called Evia for about an year. So that is enough about me. boring I would say. How about you, do you travel.? I can understand empty nest syndrome it would drive me mad.. wow beautiful country side I am a keen photographer, do you take pictures. ? Do you have only your Son? I have 2 grown up children they live in Germany, you maybe asking why in Germany because I lived in Germany 30 years. I have a granddaughter too 3 years old. I am divorced long time ago but I have a very good contact to my children we visit very often. Is your son studying?Mothers always love their sons don’t I know that I love kids .you are right, you have to find a little bit of time for your friends. I hope I am not boring you with a long message. Hoping to hear from you again. Please take care and be safe. CharlesViewDate:
