Hi Fancy, hope that you get to chat to lots of people on this site, will
sometimes be a bit difficult to navigate, but you will get there in the
end. I think that there are quite a few of your fellow Americans that
visit this site, but I am not one of them, I live in Southampton in the
UK, am a man of 73 , so a lot older than you, but am here if you would
like to message. We are slowly getting back to near normal as regards
covid, so am hoping to resume traveling later this year, probably will
be back to Cape Town. Good luck with your search, take care and
stay safe, best wishes, Terry.

Hi Terry, it’s so nice to meet you. I have not traveled much so it’s really special for me to talk to someone in the UK. One of my goals is to travel more outside the US now that I have a little more time. I have worked 30 years in hospitals and know COVID is probably here to stay but I think it is being managed better now than when it first hit. I hope you enjoy your travels and remain safe and in good health. Look forward to talking to you again! Fancy

Hi Fancy, good evening from a cold and windy Southampton, thank
you for your reply. I have only been to the USA once a long time ago
whilst I was in the Army, I went for a visit with a company from my
Regiment to Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, that was in 1966 so a
time when you were still a young girl. Anyway I love to travel and I
have been lucky to have visited many countries, but the place that
I really love is Africa, and have been to 17 countries there, mostly in
East or Southern Africa, If you like culture and wildlife and diverse
scenery Africa is the place for you. I am single and have no children
so maybe it is easier for me than for someone who has more things
to worry about, and now I am retired I am able when things are back
to something like normal as regards this covid thing to be able to
get away again. I hope that you manage to travel when you get the
time,life is too short to hang around wondering what it is like in far
away places. I see that you have spent a lot of your working life in
hospitals, I once had a job in an X-Ray department developing the
films, and really enjoyed it, but in the end I went to London and
worked in property management for the last 12 years before I
retired. It would be nice to keep in touch with you, and you may
find others on this site as well. 10.30 pm over here now, so will have
one final cup of tea and then of to bed, so take care and stay safe
will look forward to hearing from you again, all best wishes, Terry.
