After a long COVID relapse, I have been mostly housebound for 6 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 film, travel stories and poetry, 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Faruk. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Austin so I could bring a meal.
Hope it all works out, Faruk. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Ikeja.
So sorry you're going through this, Faruk. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Bonny.
wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Nagpur.
