About me
Hi! I’m Josephine, a Berlin local since 2008. I grew up in Munich, in the south of Germany, and moved here as a teen. This means I had to learn all my local knowledge from scratch and be it on foot or by bike, to this day I have never lost the drive to explore Berlin!
A foodie through and through, finding and testing new, engaging places that serve or produce good food is what I enjoy most. Since I work in Tech, you can bet I have some sort of kanban board to keep track of my discoveries.
Why Berlin?
I love Berlin because every single district, or even smaller neighborhoods, has its own unique, special character. Appearance and architecture, but also the types of people, shops, cafés, restaurants, and bars play a role here. The variety is staggering and the sheer size of Berlin guarantees you never truly finish exploring this city!
Where else can you find me online?
Steglitz-Zehlendorf in Berlin is full with "Tree Stumps with Faces"! It's a great specimen of street art, and there are more than 500 in the neighborhood!

The decorated "Mosaic Seats" in Berlin's Neukölln are located in a beautiful residential area. I like coming to rest my feet here if I'm in the area...

"Geist im Glas" Berlin really is the best of both worlds: a bar at night and a fabulous brunch place on the weekends! I always ask about the new cocktails.

"Andraschko" in Berlin and their 'Wiener Kaffeehaus Mischung' Espresso blend is the roastery/shop that actually made me like coffee in the first place...
by
"Kranoldplatz Market": a small market in Berlin. What I love about it, apart from the potato stall, is the flatbread and cream cheese for a quick lunch!
by
"Toms Kaffeerösterei" is one of my favourite spots in south-west Berlin. It's an artisanal, owner-managed coffee shop that gives great advice for blends!
by
"BRLO Brwhouse" in Berlin is one of my favorite breweries in the city. I recommend ordering a tasting board, but I usually get a 'Berliner Weisse' myself.
by
"Stagger Lee" is the western-saloon-style Berlin locale I take people I want to impress to. I'm serious. My favorite cocktail there? The Alabama Song...
