🍦 FOMO Berlin: The night of shooting stars 💫 - 12. - 18. August

Hey Berliners ☀️

I just saw my first shooting star this year 💫 and now two and still counting. This mail is late, due to me camping at the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte (Schlabornsee) and expecting the internet connection would be good enough here in east-germany 😅 at least the nature and the view can challenge Mallorca and Ibiza. So it's absolutely worth it!

We have some exciting events waiting for you in the next weeks, don't miss any our events and follow os in Instagram: fomoberlin247 and subscribe to our lu.ma channel.
