Berlin

I honestly can’t talk about Berlin enough. I feel like I could visit a hundred times and still not see everything. Even though I have my favorite routines, the city just has this addictive energy that keeps me coming back.

The East Side Gallery is a must-see in Berlin, the longest remaining part of the Berlin Wall. Visiting it is a powerful mix of history and creativity. Seeing the Wall up close was incredible, and walking along it was both fun and moving.

This place is hands down one of the best in Germany! I’m always dreaming of being there. They have a big menu, but I usually stick to the "Classic Block Burger" and the "New York Cheeseburger"; I love them both. The desserts are great too. This place...

This place is probably the most overrated spot in Berlin. Every online guide makes it sound like a “must-see,” but honestly… It’s mostly just stores and food spots. If the season’s right, there are little markets and some cute things to see. I do lov...
