Retired teacher of French language and literature, have lost some fluency (no practice for 20 years), so some exchanges in French would be good, but not necessary. Love to make new friends from anywhere, to learn about their lives, culture, etc. Am shy, introverted, openminded, good sense of humour, communicate well, interested in literature, history, current affairs, theatre, movies, good TV series, dramas, documentaries, travel, not into gardening, but happy to talk (and laugh) about almost anything. Born Canada, lived in Australia for 55 years. Active, 50-minute walk each day, some gym
