About the Girl

Salut, Hallo, Ciao, Hola (I could go on forever) and welcome to my blog! Thanks for visiting – I hope you’re enjoying it! I created this blog to provide tips, tricks and advice on travelling on a budget while making the most of your time in different cities and regions around the world.

I’m assuming that, since you clicked on this page, you want to find out who The Flyaway Girl is. Well, that’s me.

 

 

My name is Penelope Louise and I’m 24 years of age. I’m British by passport and currently live in Hampshire, UK. I graduated in 2018 in German and International Management and now work full time as a travel blogger, content creator and social media consultant.

I speak English and German and un poquito Spanish (I’ve forgotten quite a bit of it). I absolutely love learning languages and always try to learn the basics when I visit a country.

I have currently visited 60 countries in the world and my current bucket list “to-do” is to visit every country in Europe. I currently have three left to visit, these being Kosovo, San Marino and Moldova.

As well as running this blog, I run a small niche blog with my boyfriend about the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. Check out our new Gibraltar travel blog!
