About me

I go by the name of "Penelope Diamante" as a writer, as it is as international as I am...! I am though known with different names online - one being Penny D Photo, for my photography- and my digital footprint is now impossible to erase! Made in Athens, Greece, of Italian -Venetian to be exact- origins due to my grandpa from Corfu, studied in Athens and Paris (Theology, Sociology and Economics), lived and worked in Rome as a photographer until I landed in Copenhagen! Besides being a writer and photographer, I am also an editor and translator, with extended experience and education in tourism and HR. More of the stuff I do...playing the piano, singing (my first job in Copenhagen!), painting, swimming and...gotta love yoga and meditation! I consider myself a citizen of the world, I'm social, totally extrovert, love meeting people and new places, and I'm a crazy museum and book lover too! Bonus point: I speak 6 languages fluently and another 6 at an acceptable or academic level!



Why Copenhagen?

Unlike most people, more than a decade ago, when I moved, it was not because of a job, studies or a partner. I just...liked it and was trying to find my next best city after Rome! Well, Copenhagen might be a relatively small capital, but it is one of the most beautiful, easy to navigate, and so calm - which is a good trait for a Southern like me. I came for 5 days, fell in love with Copenhagen and never left since, and that's my story! All cities have pros and cons, and I think Copenhagen is one of the cutest, prettiest, nicest cities to live in besides the weather or the language or whatever else most expats are whining about. Copenhagen is LOVE!
