Hi! It’s my first time using an international communication site. I didn’t start Penpal just to practice English, but because I’m curious about how people from different countries think — about life, culture, work, and values. I studied literature at university, and now I work in intellectual property, mainly in commercial kitchen equipment. I keep an English diary because writing helps me notice what I really think. I like honest and curious people who don’t mind talking about real things rather than just polite answers. I usually travel to Europe once a year.
