One of the perks of living in Berlin is the vast number of parks within the city. Ever since I moved to this city, these green corners became my escape whenever there’s too much to handle, mentally and emotionally. I am not underestimating the power of other aspects of this city, like its rich and powerful history; the tragedy that fell upon this city and its people, and the recovery from all of it to be what it is today, a city where Continue reading “Berlin, its green corners and a guy who loves nature!”
