International PhD Student Seeking Friends
Hello everyone! I’m a 23-year-old female who recently moved to Reading to begin my PhD journey. I love exploring a variety of hobbies and have met some wonderful people so far. However, I’m eager to connect with others who are also new to Reading, particularly international students interested in joining me for activities, outings, and occasional parties. I’m looking for those who are starting their adventures here and have some free time to share!
Here’s a brief overview of my main hobbies and interests: I’m passionate about art and music (I’m a beginner piano player), I’ve recently taken up swing dancing, I enjoy long walks and birdwatching, visiting new places, gaming, watching shows, and staying active with swimming. Being part of the LGBTQ+ community is important to me, and I cherish meaningful conversations and forming genuine connections.
If you think we could be friends, feel free to reach out! Looking forward to meeting new people! 
Hi there! Welcome to Reading! It sounds like you’re off to a great start with all your hobbies and interests. I’m also interested in making new friends and trying out different activities. I love music, and I think it’s awesome you’re learning the piano and dancing swing!
I’m always up for exploring new places or going for walks and would love to join you for some bird watching or sports. It’s great to hear you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community; I’d love to connect and have those deep conversations you mentioned!
If you’re up for it, maybe we could grab a coffee or check out a local event together sometime? Looking forward to hearing from you!
