TRAVELING SOLO AND LOOKING FOR A COMPANION?Hello everyone, I've just joined and this is by way of an introduction and maybe discussion kick-off. I'm 69 next year and I'm about to retire from full time work later this year. I like food - cooking and eating - and drink. Gentle exercise is fine although a long walk needs to have some refreshment stops en route. I enjoy a good book and thanks to kindle have read a lot without the weight of the books to worry about. I'm an armchair sports fan - aren't most of us at the moment - but soccer and F1 are my favourites. I've recently taken up photography as a hobby in an effort to force myself to get more and walk off some weight. I never went to university but I'm hoping to take a gap year, mainly away from the UK in 2022, Covid-19 restrictions permitting. Thanks to Brexit, strolling around the Schengen countries of the EU non-stop is no longer an option as the 90 day tourist rule applies accumulatively to those countries. My thinking is to do up to 90 days in Schengen countries, skip back to UK for a week or so and then 90 days non-Schengen countries, back to UK and repeat. Initially my thoughts were to do this alone, but if the opportunity arose to travel with a companion then I think that would be better. After all, with seven years of living on my own under my belt the conversations at home can get boring.
