Detailed description

Woman (53 yrs) is looking for a better quality of life and would like a conversation buddy


She doesn't want to bother her daughters or others with her problems, but she does like to talk about herself every now and then. But it certainly doesn't have to be just heavy conversations. She is energetic, lively and broadly interested. Besides her dog and 2 cats, she has several terrariums as a hobby.

But sometimes she has bad periods and she doesn't take good care of herself and her environment. She suffers from type 1 diabetes and she can walk for up to half an hour without pain. But she likes a short walk. She is looking for a female conversation partner at a fixed time of the week. Who offers her this moment of the week to look forward to?
