hi. i am travelling to Jeddah Saudia Arabia in April. .2023 . i am not looking for a place to stay but i am hoping to find someone who can show me around the city for an hour or two, have a chat, a walk on the corniche. Or a dinner out. to learn about life here, and perhaps for you to practice your English. I am not looking for romance but just a chance to meet up with locals

I live in Toronto Canada I hope to find local friends just to chat about life there and in canada

I have had a colorful career as a former actor, exciting adventurous world traveller, photographer, writer and fashion designer, poet. . I am fun to be with and have a vitality and energy that belie my age. ( 86) . I am a non conformist and a bit eccentric. I love literature, fashion, art, movies, cooking, and cuisine. I have backpacked every year all over the world, recently across Africa from capetown to Cairo.. I have been a lifelong student of world religions, Islam and Buddhism and studied Zen in Japan. If you would enjoy a refreshing chat over coffee, or a night out in a fine restaurant I would be delighted to take you.
