Relationships
Watch this postI’m new to chatting, never did this before. My wonderful wife passed away eight years ago and at times, I’m very lonely.
I would like this activity to learn about more people and have them learn about me. Although I’m a senior, I’m not too experienced with people because we married young so we didn’t date much.
I’d like to know what most seniors are looking for in their lives besides the basic things. Do you have hopes and dreams still for something different in your life? I do but honestly, it can be somewhat scary to go out of my comfort zone. Would love to hear from you. Thanks

Wishing you all the best.
from visiting the places that you want to see. I am 74 and single, and
like you am fed up with single supplements when I book holidays, I did
find a solution when I started to go on overland trips through Africa, We
go on a truck and camp most nights, if you are on your own they pair you up with someone of the same sex. This sort of travel is not for everyone I understand that, but if you want to see some magical sights
and abundance wildlife this would be right up there.hope that you also
find a solution, and get out there while you still have the chance, happy
travels, all best wishes, Terry.
I would love to go to far flung places and see magical sights and wildlife but my experience has made me very wary of ever trusting strangers.
I am very aware that life is far too short and time is slipping by so I must try and be braver but it's difficult when one has very little trust, but thank you for your kind thoughts and I hope you continue to enjoy your travels.
Best wishes always.
the bad experience you had with the woman that you were paired
up with, I know that it was not funny for you at the time, but I had a
little chuckle the way you described your entry into the bedroom,
must have been a shock, some people have no sense of decency
any more. So I hope that you do manage to get away sometime, as
you said yourself, time is ticking by and we all are not getting any
younger. Just an update on my travel plans, I am going off to sunny
Cape Town in South Africa, leaving on Sunday 2nd of October, for
10nights, so looking forward to that. I have been there many times
before and when I am there I stay in the same backpackers hostel
that I have stayed in many times, they do single rooms without you
having to pay any silly supplements. Then you can come and go as
you wish, the beauty of this is that you have the best of both worlds,
as you can have your privacy of your own room, but you can also
meet other travelers in the lounge or in the courtyard where guests
gather for meals and a chat. You get to hear stories of their travels
around the world, and also get tips on good places to visit and the
Beas deals on excursions as well. So all in all, a win, win, for all of
us staying there, Just for your interest the place I stay is called the
Zebra Crossing backpackers hostel in New Church Street, Cape Town, you can look them up on Google if you want too have a look.
Anyway, it was nice of you to reply to me, and I would be more than
happy to chat with you any time you want, in the meantime, take
care and stay safe, all best wishes, Terry.
