Hi, I'm Petra from Cologne, Germany. I dabbled with Mastodon and the Fediverse years ago but never really got into it. Let's see if it works this time. I am mainly looking for people who are talking about personal things. I am very politically interested but recently had to cut back on consuming news in order to stay sane (haha, more or less). I love traveling, but have never left Europe (there are still so many interesting places I haven't seen yet), animals, plants (I do a bit of urban gardening on my big balconies), music (Marillion, Dido, Porcupine Tree, Vanessa Carlton and so forth), drawing, paper crafting, photography, art, and lots of other things. It would be really nice to find a few likeminded people to chat with.
