I want a conversation partner who is

Someone who has a lot of patience. I have SA so it's difficult for me to respond regularly. I hope that's okay. I will not do video or voice calls until a sufficient amount of text-based chat has been used. Let's get to know each other first.

My learning goals

To be conversational and come up with my own things to say without needing a script. To be able to travel and speak with the people, hopefully without getting lost.
