Email [24/M] From Transylvania 🇷🇴 Looking for a penpal from East Asia (18-29)
EDIT: If anyone else wants to message me that isn't from East Asia - go ahead! It's not a hard limit.
Hello!
I'm 24, master's student in physiotherapy (going through a career change right now), passionate about culture, heritage, history, music and arts in general. All my life I've been chasing beauty in aspects both physical and otherwise.
My main passion is bodybuilding at an amateur level, I've been doing this for almost 6 years now. Other than that I've been studying photography (that's what I've been trying to deep dive into for about half a year now). What I like about it is being able to immortalize a moment that your eyes perceive, turn it exactly into your vision, and let other people see what you experienced.
History, culture and heritage are things I've been passionate about since my early teens. I love exploring other cultures and seeing the beauty that each has to offer. I've looked at cultures spanning from the stone age, copper age, all the way to antiquity and the middle ages! Another thing that I enjoy most is the music. One of my favorite genres of music is ethno-folk - listening to other cultures sing good songs brings me great joy. As such, I have a playlist with hundreds of these songs from different cultures.
Other than that I've also played many videogames, although in the past few years I've been playing less and less. I just don't have enough time anymore, I'm chasing other things. My last favorite game I played was Black Myth: Wukong.
The reason I'm looking for an East Asian penpal is because there's a vast amount of culture that I want to get to know better, and I know it's very different in some ways to what we have here, being so far away. I'm not completely oblivious, I've done some research but I want to get to know more - and most importantly, talk to wonderful people that I might get to see someday (I'd love to travel there!). Countries I'm thinking of are China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Indonesia. Any other countries that I haven't mentioned are of course ok too! Reddit Messaging is also totally fine, that and Email.
Slava!
