A type of supper club that travels around the globe always building a magic space made of old wood and things they find or they are given to then open their pale blue door to their guests for just 12 nights during the course of 3 weeks. …

When you come to Berlin, there are a few things you should do. Party at Berghain and Bar 25, eat a currywurst, go shopping in Mitte and if you’re here during a Sunday you definitely must not miss Mauerpark on Sundays. What started out as a pretty rad and large fleamarket, has slowly turned into the most important social event of the week. Unpretentious and easygoing, anyone can come here, …

Looking for romance? Culture? Fun? Good food and music? Diverse landscapes and plenty of historic sights? And on top of that you want to be safe while travelling? Then Europe is the place to be!

Oh how lovely was our first Travelettes fleamarket! The turn-out was amazing and most of the 20 girls who sold their old vintage in support of their holiday piggy bank were able to trade rags for riches. The ladies brought on some really high end stuff which is why I invested most of the money I made straight back into new clothes. Flamenco shoes, a skirt, 2 tops, 2 books, …

“People who come to Berlin can’t find what everyone loves about it.
People who have always lived in Berlin can’t find what they used to love about it.”

“Finding Berlin” is a new blog exactly about that, about finding what makes Berlin so special to people. I for myself don’t live in Berlin, but I love this city and I can’t even tell you why. Is it just that big city …
