I’m not sure how I came across this, but there is a website called ‘Rent A Friend’ where you can, indeed, rent a friend.
Here is the link: https://rentafriend.com/
It is not a dating site – it’s a site for you to find somebody to do stuff with. Like if you have an extra ticket for an event and can’t find somebody to go, or you’re travelling and in a town you’re not familiar with.
I think I might give it a try when I’m in a ‘stopover’ city on my travels. You can look up people for free. I did some trial searches in Fargo ND, Truth or Consequences, and Devizes UK just for kicks. There were friends available at all of those locations!
Anyway, I will update you if and when I do Rent A Friend somewhere. But it seems kind of a cool idea.
And, I added two paintings to the My Artwork page. Check ’em out!
In the meantime, I am planning my next trip. I’m tentatively thinking it will be a trip to the Bay Area, then South Lake Tahoe (that’s the only part cast in stone at the moment), up to Portland, OR and then maybe catching the Empire Builder Train to Chicago, then home. Starting to try to fit the puzzle pieces together now.
Until next time! (oh, and by the way – I am still coughing and still a little bit hoarse from my yucky illness! Sheesh!)
