At first glance,
Penelope is as English as they come. She attended the Cheltenham Ladies College in beautiful Gloucestershire, was a Duke of Edinburgh Award recipient, and graduated from Bristol University. But first glances are deceptive. She has always been fascinated by Germany, having been born there, and following her German degree at Bristol, she knew the only place for her was Germany.
Having spent a year working in Munich during her degree, she fell in love with the city and knew that she had to come back. The day after her final graduation exam she moved back to Munich for good! She began in administrative roles but quickly moved into accounts and events management. ‘Very few English people make the effort to learn German, but once you do it makes an enormous difference’ she says. ‘Germans are courteous, but be prepared for the fact that they are very direct and don’t instantly take this to heart. They mean well!’
She is well aware of the issues involved in relocating to Bavaria. ‘Munich has an incredible demand for housing and it’s important to know the best areas to live. Getting professional help during the move is vital. Newcomers can also be indecisive at first, and Germans don’t have a lot of time for that, so having an expert at your side for support makes things a lot easier.’
Penelope looks forward to offering her assistance with your relocation.
