I’m a 19-year-old looking for a fun and supportive buddy to join me in various activities and experiences. Some days will be relaxed, while others will be more adventurous.

I need someone who is enthusiastic and energetic, who will be motivational without rushing me, supporting me to make plans on what we do and where we go. Someone who would be happy to drive our motability vehicle is preferred, but for the right person, we can work it out.
If you share similar interests and appreciate slapstick humour and witty banter, I can certainly promise a few laughs as we go!
