🕺A Week of Science and Fashion - FOMO Berlin: October 30 - November 5

Hi Berliners 👋

I hope you all had a spooky and festive Halloween weekend 🎃 My time in New York is coming to an end, which comes with many mixed feelings. It’s never fun leaving The Big 🍎 but I’m always excited to go home to Berlin and see my friends again! It’s especially exciting when looking at all these amazing events coming up👇

This week we have Berlin Science Week, Jazz Fest, Fashion Film Festival, and so much more waiting for you! I think it’s safe to say that there’s a bit for every taste. So take your pick and see you out there 🔥
