Description
I live in a quiet and safe neighborhood in Richmond, Virginia.I am a 65 year old German female. I have a pretty irregular schedule. I have a small dog. My 24 year old son comes to visit occasionally. I have roomate another female living at my house. She lives upstairs and keeps very much to herself. I speak English, German and French. I have an international circle of friends. We hike, we bike and kayak in the Greater Richmond area. As this is a women household and we all need to share the bathroom, I would prefer a woman to join me.

This is a women household and we share the bathroom. Therefore, I would prefer a woman to join me. I live in the city but Richmond is unique as I am surrounded by parks, forest, hiking trails, biking trails and a river in which you can Kayak or swim when temperatures are good for it. All in walking distance.There is the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts with great exhibitions and art programs. Richmond is now considered a "foodie" city. You can eat any kind of ethnic food you can possibly think of. We have an outdoor amphitheater, an opera house and lots more. There are regular art gallery events. The beach is 2 hours east and the mountains 2 hours west. Washington, D.C. is 2 hours north. The Flixbus goes up and down the east coast.
