Here I document my adventures in travel, lifestyle, and thinking differently with the hope of broadening people’s perspectives. I hope you enjoy!
Cool thermal bath which often plays techno music in the background. My favorite part was getting to lather up in honey for a grapefruit essential oils sauna treatment
Good food and tea. I don’t know of any other Tajikistani restaurants.
Eat a Currywurst (find any street stand)
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm Center @ Humboldt University
very hard to get in unless you know a student there
Where I rode a 10 foot tall sheep statue (part of a temporary exhibit on wool back in 2018)
Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
Walking through this memorial (respectfully) is encouraged. You almost feel as if the ground is swallowing you up as you move deeper through the many stone prisms.
The largest remaining bits of the Berlin Wall, painted over with many colorful and thought-provoking murals
I found the room with the metal face plates especially powerful. The Holocaust is obviously a tough subject, but lots of important history to learn about, especially in Berlin. You can feel the impact of WWII and the East-West Germany divide more noticeably in Berlin than any other German city I have visited.
Always a fan of Atlas Obscura for more unique recommendations. Many of the above stops were ones I found here.
