Travelling companion
Our dear friend (We will call her Ann) lost her hubby over 5 years ago. Ann has been ready for a while now to move forward and do something her husband never wanted to do....travel across Canada. On...
Forum Discussion
We have had many conversations with her about the dangers of such as trip. We are worried for her. She seems to think that there must be others out there, honest genuine people who are looking for company like she is. I have known her for years and we both tend to be "too trusting of people" as my hubby puts it.
My husband has suggested a conversion van where she would not be hauling something. Something easier, so she could go alone. Ann insists it is the company she needs.
Ann put an add on one of those sites where you can advertise anything from real estate to garden veggies. I knew her password sand removed it. She was angry at first but got over it. I said that it was definitely the wrong way to go.
I think she feels that the perfectly honest gentleman will appear that is looking for the same thing. We have discreetly put the info out at church to our minister to see if he knows of someone in the congregation looking for the same thing. Sadly though, that may not be safe either.
Ann is my age 57 and I tell her she has lots of time (hopefully) to fulfill her dream of touring the country. I can understand how she does not want to be alone. I wish she would find someone with the same interests and settle down. I am so desperate to help her do this in a safe way that I suggested she actually go and join some clubs where she could meet someone and get to know him before even mentioning this trip. She may be right, someone else may just want a friend, company.
Someone asked these questions..
..what is she driving? she will buy a MH
..Does she want a stranger to teach her...She feels they could share driving but he would have the RV knowledge.
