Hello!

My name is Rachel, though I prefer to be called Penny. I am a 26 year old Design student from the UK, and I am looking to get out into the world and meet new people!
I Love anything quirky and unusual. I adore books, art and crafts, going to the theatre, watching sci-fi and fantasy films and enjoy coffee or tea with cake :)
I am really interested in alternative fashion and weird board games. I love anything vintage (especially teapots and teacups!).

I adore Dr Who, Star Trek and Firefly.

I live with my partner and two adorable budgies. I will most likely show you pictures ;)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I would eventually love to move to abroad permanently. I want to make some life-long friends, have meaningful conversations and understand more about the world I live in.

I want to travel for my own self confidence and make lots of friends along the way!

兴趣

Art, music, jewellery design, psychology, comic books, vintage tea sets and video games. I adore cats but my partner and myself have two beautiful budgies at the moment.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I went to an all-women's festival 2 years ago called 'Thirteen Moons'. I met so many amazing women that it changed my outlook on life completely.
This summer I also did a solo trip around Europe. I visited Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Munich and Barcelona. I met wonderful people in each place and saw some beautiful things!

教，学，和分享

I am a native English speaker and am more than willing to language swap! I know some basic origami, jewellery design techniques and I really want to learn German, it is such a beautiful language. I am also interested in learning Japanese, dutch or French. Unfortunately I missed out on learning a language at school age, so learning one now is proving to be a little difficult!
