I’m new to the site. Live in Texas. If anyone is visiting Texas, I can make suggestions. I’d like to find someone to travel to Germany and Switzerland with.

Hi - I’m new and like others I used to be with sagazone and made some great friends.

I am based in Edinburgh and wondering if there are many Scots already online? If so I would love to hear from you.
Response from LuckyOne made on 23rd Feb 2020 17:56:39
I'm new too. I'm also a Scot. This forum seems to be for beginners so I'm going to do a bit of exploring and learn how to use the site properly. Before I go - are there any S.Surfers from North Norfolk on here? I used to live and work in London, then retired to Sussex but I'm now very happy living in an area of outstanding natural beauty in Norfolk.

Joined today but didn't realize until I got into this site that most are either from Canada or Great Britain. I'm American so hope it doesn't disqualify me (33% Irish and 50% English decent so does that qualify???) LOL

Good evening and welcome to the site kayeD I hope you will make lots of new friends with the same interest as you
Response from Ready2Travel made on 4th Feb 2020 03:29:38
Hi KayeD. I also am from the US, California to be specific. I joined without realizing it was largely people in England, but I was hoping to meet some other ladies who wanted to travel but didn’t want to do it alone. I travel with friends sometimes, but they’re not always available or interested in the same trips as I am. Best of luck connecting with new “friends” and perhaps travel buddies!

Hi Staceythinks, I'm also new on here, I know how you feel I am recently separated from a 20 year marriage and I dont drink so find it difficult to socialise as don't really go in for pubs. I joined this community hoping it would help with my social skills and make some online friends. I hope your having better luck than me so far.....

Hello everyone! I too did not realize this website was for the UK when i joined but noticed there are people from everywhere! I am a 54 yr old American by birth but English in my heart. I am 93% English and 7 % Irish according to Ancestry.com. All my life i have felt that i didnt belong here and as soon as I saw my first episode of Benny Hill in the 70s and a little later Monty Python i knew for sure! I am not super interesting,..love to read, garden, cook, history, documentaries,dark beer, peace and quiet and no drama. I live in Idaho with my sweet chihuahua Peanut and my 74 yr old husband whom I care for. We have no family here so its pretty isolating. Looking to make new friends and I dream of traveling to England some day! Merry Christmas all!!

My husband died 3 weeks ago. I just want to connect to the world again as I seem so isolated. Don't know if this is a good place or not. I have found a bereavement chat room, but they don't really want to talk about loss. The loss is heavy but just dealing with a life where everything has changed is a challenge.
Response from KayeD made on 10th Dec 2019 19:18:33
I too lost my husband...exactly 10 months ago today. Getting through these first Holidays is brutal to say the least. Today I decided to distract myself by joining this forum. BJ If you are still active I completely understand the need to talk about your loss. I'm astonished that a bereavement group doesn't want to talk about loss.....that's what they are for. Anyhow if you want to talk I'm here

Aislin44, I have an old school friend from Liverpool who has lived in North Vanvcouver for many years and he has a second home on Pender Island, are you familar with both areas?
Response from Aislin44 made on 18th Nov 2019 03:08:40
Hi there....good to hear from you......yes, we're quite familiar with North Vancouver, not so much with Pender Island, although it is a lovely place to visit......we live in Mission, which is out in the Fraser valley….
Response from Karmen made on 8th Dec 2019 02:18:01
Hi, I am American but have visited BC on several occasions. I enjoyed visits to Victoria, Vancouver and Nanaimo. Canada is a beautiful Country.
