Our Gear:
We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

"Berliner Schnauze" doesn't mean that berliner are arrogant, it means they will speak their mind wether you like it or not. they might come across as rude, but they are just too honest to be overly polite. ( all of that is way too simplified, but you get the idea) being the daughter of a Berliner, i really loved the video

I was in Berlin for a week and I think it is The city has an unruly and vibrant feel! There were so many places to explore. I was told time and again about how ugly the city would be. Such nonsense. It's not beautiful like Paris, but the new buildings are still not as UGLY as the ones coming up all over 'merica (the ones that seem like the contractors designed them, not an architect). The Turkish immigrants were even cool and their food is delicious. The Germans themselves were the nicest people! Everyone spoke English and all were so willing to help if you needed something. TWO different people went into their phones for almost 25 minutes to help me, respectively. I LOVE BERLIN and Berliners!

And now after 2 Years travelling i watched your Video and heared you talking about my City. I nearly cried when i heared what you say, you're damn right. Now everything i wanna do is go back. Maybe i will see then back in Berlin.

When I visited Europe back in 1987 Berlin was one of my favorite cities to visit! Wonderful museums and wide open parks with a vibe that was different from any other city in Europe. A lot has changed since I was last here but it must be more amazing now that the wall has come down. Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey U S A

I lived in Berlin in the 1970s before the wall came down! It was truly the best duty station I ever had and the most awesome city I ever lived in!

Berlin is one of the most interesting cities I have been to. Such history and yet so modern. I walked and walked and walked thus exploring the city by foot and imbibing its electrifying ambience.

I'm from Berlin and I lived in Hamburg for 8 years and I feel like people in Hamburg are the ones with their noses up and Berliners are very open and direct.
It's not that we're arrogant or unfriendly, we're just true. You have to react just as rough and you will earn a smile and maybe we'll be friends.
That's part of our humor and it's also useful for testing if people are cool (And it keeps annoying tourists away, cause we don't like tourists).
Of course you will meet people who are just unfriendly or have a bad, stressful day, but these people are everywhere you go in the world.
I actually like about Berlin that it is very multicultural, bc there's anything everywhere and that is very useful if you live here.
Btw, Berliner Schnauze is just the name for our dialect.

I was in Berlin in time of East and West Germany, and all I can say that i have all good memories about that time, although the difference was enormous. I'm from Zagreb, Croatia, and in that time it was Yugoslavia, which had somewhat remembrance ti East Berlin. Museums, U-ban, restaurants, Under den Linden avenue, Brandenburg door...Most memorable thing about E.B. was Russian guard change at  Memorial to the Victims of Fascism and Militarism. I remember W.B. for all the lights, shopping malls, Charlie check point, all-round difference with E.B. After reunion of Germany i was few times in Frankfurt, and all i can say is that i like Berlin more. Ich bin ein Berliner :)

I was in Berlin this summer and loved it. Lots of different vibes in the different parts of the city. I thought the people had a pretty relaxed attitude about life in general. I'm definitely going back.

I can to relate to the "Berliner Schnauze", as the rest of Canada seems to feel the same about Toronto, even though Toronto is very friendly and most Canadians have never been here.

[katygraham]

I love your enthusiasm for this city! I'm heading to Berlin myself for the first time in the summer and you're video has really got me looking forward to it! :)

[stevemorton]

What I love about Berlin is that it is two cities in one.  You have the west side and east side.  Two different style of architecture and feel.

Berlin zoo is interesting. It's like time traveling back to the 50's when animals were displayed in cages.  It was sad to see a Bald Eagle stuck on a small perch. Almost made me cry.

Berlin is Amazing!!! Always and Forever, Berlin is Berlin, no matter how much it changes it's Berlin, I loved it there!!!

[shooterrick]

Just spent a weekend there. I love it and want to go back there as soon as I can. The public transport was new and exciting to me since I live in the countryside so it wasn't a problem. There are so many things to see and experience. 10/10

[petethegreekre]

Got to love Berlin. Lived there for 2 years and it wasn't enough. Plus Berliners are great people.

[sherry]

Great video! I am from London will be moving to Berlin in a few months for a year and this video has really geared me up for Berlin!

I have been to Berlin as a student and as an Engineer. Your experience follows your little scope, which you cannot escape. I have experienced the local culture and art behind the touristic level. You were lucky to live there.  What you missed was the Kneipe, the art at Kreuzberg and the fabulous curry wurst. I lived on K-Damm in a Penthouse while I studied there. I was poor from a recent divorce, but enjoyed the company of a variety of young students from Europe and Asia. The highlight of my time was being able to run on the Olympic track which had been renovated in hopes of being the 1996 Olympic site.
