Ideal conversation exchange partner

I am trying to learn Japanese on my own because there are no teachers or classes near where I live. I like to talk with people who are patient, kind and funny. I welcome any and all friendship, but not flirting as I am already spoken for

My learning goals

To be able to speak and read japanese well. I am a true blue beginner and currently only know a handful of vocabulary and little hiragana. I really also want to understand the grammar because I struggle with that the most.
