I am a retired senior communications manager, widowed with 2 grown up daughters. I like to travel both in Europe and further afield and it’s definitely more enjoyable to travel with someone. I have travelled alone many times but sharing the experience is better. I enjoy cities for cultural visits; architecture, paintings, local colour & cuisine. Local history and politics are important as are music especially Opera. I like swimming and beaches, cliff top walks and coastal scenery. I Scuba dive (PADI Advanced) and enjoy sunbathing and relaxing in the sun. Recently I visited Cuba and found the whole holiday fascinating for the shifting position of the country politically and after 3 years of COVID affecting the tourism economy. COVID prevented me going for 2.5 weeks in Costa Rica in 2020- I’d like to rebook this trip. I would also like a short skiing break this winter to see if I can still manage it. I was a reasonable blue/ red run skier with a love of snow and mountains, the gluwein and the alpine scenery. I enjoy a good quality of hotel accommodation and am too old to slum it in hostels. I don’t want to be constantly travelling and would prefer 3-4 days stops or a central hub to travel from. Looking for a like minded companion who has a similar thirst for travel and adventure, who likes their home comforts and good food but isn’t averse to trying new things and testing out different activities.
