About

Berlin is easy to love – diverse, multicultural, a melting pot of styles, history and attitude, an urban role model, fascinating, evolving, changing at a fast pace, dirty but laid back. Moving here was an issue of being confronted with overwhelming opportunities as well as with being blamed for changing the cities values. Gentrification, the rising costs of living and young people who can’t see beyond the hype are said to destroy what berlin once used to be.

We want to try and stop the negativity. This is a great time to be here, a great time for young people to take part in the making of a major city in Europe. Let’s not sit at home and cry about failing politics and a harsh economy. Let’s do something.

We are a group of friends who wander our city of choice in awe. We want to share our precious moments, our favorite places, with the rest of the world. Especially with people who are just as fascinated by the dynamics of the city. Especially because there’s more criticism on a daily basis than any love. This is our intimate walk through the city – our little token of appreciation.

Finding Berlin started out as a one-man project and grew over the time within a circle of friends. It used to be a two part documentary – the first part a visual description and personal tidbits from the summertime, the second part a comparison of many major cities from around the world. As time passed, Finding Berlin became much more than that: a personal tour guide, a visual diary, an actual tourism business and a network of people who love travelling within Berlin and outside.
