From Penny, Germany
Penny, Cologne, Germany
During my studies at the University of Exeter, I did a year abroad where I lived and worked in Cologne for 10 months in 2015-16. There, I unexpectedly fell in love with the city…. And a man! After university I moved out here again for good. I come from Stroud in the Cotswolds, but have now been living in Germany for 3 years. My favourite thing about living in Germany are the gorgeous Autumn colours which seem to last longer than in the UK.
