After a long COVID relapse, I have been mostly housebound for 3 weeks. My family live far away, and the days can feel very long. I'm not looking for therapy - I've that covered - but for conversation.
I'm hoping for someone who can call for about 30 minutes once a week whenever suits us both. I like history, chess and quiz shows, and can listen to anything.
This can be from anywhere in the world as long as you speak English. We can arrange the calls through the platform, with email shared only when we're both comfortable.
Thanks for even thinking about it.

sending love, Dereje. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Boulogne-Billancourt so I could bring a meal
Rooting for you, Dereje. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings.
You're not alone, Dereje. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Jimma.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. After 9 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
