🚀 FOMO Berlin : January 22 - January 28_

Hi Berliners 👋

Hey there from sunny Cape Town! I just wrapped up a fantastic five days here, and now I totally get why everyone raves about this city. While waiting to get into the Atlantic Social Club, I bumped into more friends and familiar faces than during a regular lunch at Klub Kitchen back in Almstadtstraße. The vibe here is just something else! ☀️

PS: As an immigrant, I am very happy and proud of yesterday's recent peace and diversity demonstration in Berlin! Cheers to building a more inclusive and compassionate world!🍻
