Looking for a chess buddy

Hey,
Since I can't really afford a teacher, I'm looking for someone to test out opening lines variations with, and bounce ideas off of while improving! (Like analyzing eachother's games and finding explanations to strange looking engine suggestions)

I'm currently at 1000 rating (acquired by mostly playing hasty matches during bus rides on phone and friday night after beers), but I often play evenly against the bots around 1400-1700 when I'm focused.

I've decided to give chess a serious go during 2025 (and for as long as it takes to reach my admittedly ambitious goal ELO) so I'm ready to be very active and invest the time required. (I'm a late starter at 33 years old).

The opening repertoire I'm currently focusing on is jobava london for white and sicilian / king's indian for black, and I'm mainly interested in rapid before I feel like my intuition is good enough to get into blitz.

I think adequate rating for an equal exchange right now would be around 1000-1300, but I will gladly try to catch up and return the helpful favors if you happen to be way better than me

European timezone is probably helpful, but not stricly necessary.
Hit me up with a DM and let's exchange discord info if you're interested!
