It's hard to imagine that we have now been in Berlin for 3 whole months. In some ways, it feels like we've always been here and don't know how we never managed to live anywhere else. And in other ways, it's strange to think that we were so settled into a far more...
Yesterday was my 33rd birthday. I'm officially moving closer to my mid-30's than my early-30's. But that doesn't bother me all that much since I've always felt that age is relative and you're only as young/old as you feel. At the same time, I know that it's definitely...
Berlin is a city loaded with things to see and do, and with over 170 museums and galleries to visit, it can be a bit tricky to narrow down just where to start. Over the summer, we decided to put off our museum visits until it starts to get colder, and in fact visited...
As our apartment here in Berlin is located near Nollendorfplatz in Schöneberg, we are lucky to have two great farmers' markets within walking distance...but it also means that we have a market going on nearly every day of the week (from Tuesday - Saturday). My current...
One of the biggest "problems" with living in Berlin is that there always seem to be too many things going on at any given time. Just during the upcoming weekend, there are close to 100 events happening around Berlin -- and these below are on our short list. Keep in...
We were blessed enough to have discovered an apartment situated between two lovely weekly farmers' market locations: Winterfeldtplatz, which is the largest most magical farmers' market in Berlin...and Wittenbergplatz, which is small but still has everything you need 3...
The weekend before last, we were invited to the housewarming party for an old friend who we haven't seen much of since he moved to Berlin a few years ago. As it turns out, he and a couple of his friends decided to do the unthinkable and bought an old farm. The place...
As the financial capital of Germany, Frankfurt often gets a bad rap for being boring, expensive and ugly. Now I know I've not always written the nicest things about Hessen and the people that live there, but I also know that many people end up there because of their...
Now that we've been here in Berlin a little over four weeks, we have really begun to compare the city we left with the city we moved to. To be honest, there is no real comparison between Frankfurt and Berlin, because they are just worlds apart. One is an amazing city...
As you may know, when we decided to move to Berlin, our first instinct was to sell both of our cars. But we learned shortly thereafter that we'd be better off keeping the Cayenne for now, despite the fact that we don't expect to use it much. And in fact, we have used...
