Who wants to take a walk with me outside the vegetable garden season? A woman (71 yrs) spends a lot of time indoors and would like a buddy to go out with.
In the summer she has her vegetable garden, but from October to March she finds it difficult to leave the house and she feels lonely. She likes to keep getting around people and keep moving. She likes to walk together. She also likes to cycle a bit before going for a walk somewhere else. She is looking for someone she can trust and who can accept her as she is. This is essential for pleasant contact and pleasant, lively conversations. She has broad interests, including in the field of plants, animals, stars, fossils, experiences in life, current events. Because she has slight characteristics of compulsion and Asperger/autism, customization and flexibility are very important.
