I am originally from Los Angeles, California and came to Berlin on a backpacking trip 9 years ago.After deciding to stick around, I started working as a professional guide and also decided to study German History at Berlin's very own Humboldt University.I love Berlin because it is a study in contrasts.It has been the center of numerous intellectual and artistic movements and boasts some of the greatest thinkers the world has ever seen.At the same time, some of history's most heinous crimes against humanity have been planned and executed from Berlin.The story of the 20th century, its highs and lows, is written into the history of Berlin.Come discover it with me!
