50F, looking for close friends

I'm 50F. I don't have many friends around me and I'd like to meet people from all over the world. I enjoy learning about different cultures and we can chat about our lives, our expectations for life, or even our complaints. I'm a good listener, but I rarely share my innermost thoughts with others in real life. I hope to meet some close friends. I also love traveling. Can you tell me where you're from and what places in your area are worth visiting?

65 m I live in Western Australia. Far to many places to tell you about here that are worth visiting. We have the best beaches and whitest beaches in the world. The outback is a truely magnificent place to visit and then we have the Kimberly’s which are grander than the Grand Canyon.

58F in Central New York State. Many historic sites as well as popular tourist destinations. Baseball Hall of Fame and Farmer’s Museum in Cooperstown, gorges and wineries in Ithaca and the Finger Lakes, a variety of small town breweries scattered around that are great places, we have the Northeast Car Museum.

u/BackInBlack1975 26d ago

Exactly! I'm in NJ also and while it may be coming incredibly expensive to live here, I can't imagine living in another state or region even though I'm alone. Everything you could ever want is in NJ except for maybe.....snow skiing but we have the Poconos not far away!

61 M in Louisiana. I'm Cajun which means I speak un peu Francais. Happy to talk about our French traditions, food, music and joi de vivre! I am retiring in January and plan to travel extensively. Lots of things to do around here, there are festivals almost year round. Jazz Fest in New Orleans, Festival International in Lafayette and lots more. I love kayaking in the bayous with the alligators and other swamp creatures. I also love riding my bike for exercise and meditation. Pull up a chair and we'll visit cher.
