This is it. Done. 365 first times. One year of doing, seeing, learning something new every day. I somehow can’t believe it’s over now. Wasn’t it yesterday when I was sitting on my balcony writing my first blog post? Time flies, friends! It was an incredible year, my 30th year of age. And I’m able […]
#day364 – craft beer tasting
The area around Hackescher Markt isn’t my first choice, when it comes to going out for a drink on a Thursday night. Neither on another weekday actually. Bars are a bit too charmless there. But when there are friends around, who I haven’t seen for months I can deal with it, of course. And it […]
#day363 – welcoming Edeka in my hood
Actually there haven’t been so many changes in Berlin’s cityscape since January. At least what I’ve seen so far. Today I had to realize though, that there’s one part, that changed a lot. My hood, my own crossing. I mean, the big crossing right next to my house, where I cross the street at the […]
#day362 – coworking @kreuzwork.berlin
While I was climbing in the Andean mountains, my friends were opening a coworking space in Berlin. In the city’s best location. The area between Kreuzberg and Neukölln, Kreuzkölln as we like to say here. That’s why they called the office kreuzwork.berlin. Sweet idea, isn’t it? The location isn’t the only good thing about the […]
#day361 – Köfteci cake
It’s all about turkish delights in Berlin Wedding. Kebab, falafel, lahmacun, baklava – whatever you want you’ll get. Authentic food in a good quality. I missed these delicacies a lot. You can find a kebab in Southamerica, sure. I tried at the minimum a handful. That’s why I can profess, it’s a shame they call […]
#day360 – waiting for Foo Fighters
Well, to write something good about Lollapalooza festival, I have to admit the lineup was quite good. Really good actually. Bear’s Den, Beatsteaks and Mumford & Sons on Saturday. London Grammar, Foo Fighters and The xx on Sunday. And these are just the highlights. There have been many more good acts, for example German bands […]
#day359 – stucked at a festival
To be honest, even though I always had a blast on Lollapalooza festivals, there was always an organisational disaster. In 2015 people had to pee behind food trucks, because they weren’t enough toilets and and the waiting time in a queue was 45 minutes on an average. After that there was one toilet for each […]
#day358 – yellow rubber boots
My first weekend in Berlin is going to be a special one. Lollapalooza festival is welcoming me back in town. It’s initially an Americal music festival, first placed in Chicago in the early 90’s, but nowadays also once a year in Southamerica and Europe. Since the first European release – in Berlin in 2015 – […]
#day357 – Neukölln to Wedding on a ladies bike
There’re two things about Berlin’s public transport most people hate, but I love it. The smell in the metro and the unfriendliness of the bus drivers. I almost forgot it. It was like a second first time exploring Berlin yesterday, while I was on my way across the city. I asked the bus driver something […]
#day356 – welcome kebab with roses and red wine
Berlin. I’m back in town. I was really curious how it feels to be back in my city after 220 days on the road. I missed Berlin so freaking badly and couldn’t wait to be finally back. And now I’m here, at home. It’s still a little unreal. Actually it’s not home home, because it’s […]
