  7. But Oh, Those Berlin Summer Mornings (and Prague Nights)

    Blog: Girl, Unstoppable - 27 March 2012

    While hosteling in Berlin, I quickly realized that even if you sit out the Saturday night partying, the party will eventually make its way to you. That was especially true in the nightlife heavy neighborhood of Friedrichshain I stayed in at the beginning of my trip. In my hostel dorm room, there was a lively [...]

  9. The wonderful world of Berlin’s museum island

    Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 19 March 2012

    I have mixed feelings about museums. Some make me wander around for hours looking at exhibits and at how people interact with them, while others leave me completely cold and uninspired.  And yet, one of the things which made me excited about visiting Berlin was what is known as Museum island, a piece of land [...]

  12. Photo Essay: A Pedestrian’s View of Friedrichshain, Berlin

    Blog: Girl, Unstoppable - 13 March 2012

    I spent much of my time in Friedrichshain exploring the neighborhood on foot, often ditching my map to make random turns on a whim. Though Friedrichshain eventually became one of my favorite neighborhoods in Berlin, at first glance, it had seemed somewhat stiff and colorless. The unexpected summer chill and intense sideways rain that left [...]

I wanted to see London, Istanbul, Barcelona, Florence and Budapest, but in the end, I ended up heading to Berlin when Boyfriend pretty much begged me to [...]

  18. Welcome to Berlin and Welcome Back to Europe

    Blog: Girl, Unstoppable - 24 February 2012

    The first thing that stands out to me in Berlin is how geometric it looks. There’s so much symmetry, right angles, repetition.
