Woman of Bath

media type="custom" key="3629407"

Hello! I am Kendra Waldorf, in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales I was the woman of Bath. I am self-employed and live on my own in New York. I love to get dolled up and go out on the town searching for love. After my third divorce I had had enough serious commitment. I was ready to just have fun! I guess you could say I’m a flirt, but what can I say? I love boys, and they all love me. I really want to go on this trip because I’m looking to meet new people who like to have fun, just like me!
