Feinspitz der Hundeladen Berlin

While walking around Berlin I spotted the nicest dog shop I have ever been to. When you have a dog, love dogs… and you are in Berlin, visit Feinspitz der Hundeladen. You won’t find pink plastic stuff but leather and quality products. Nice.

I love Berlin, I have to admit. If I ever leave Cape Town, I will move to Berlin. When Desmond and I were in Berlin, we had ice cream (gelato!!) every day.

The Barn – coffee shop in Berlin

Desmond and I will spend a whole week in Berlin at the beginning of September, we are so pumped. Sooo… as we always need great coffee, I found The Barn, a spot where we will most definitely chill.

Out now: Freunde von Freunden Berlin

Freunde von Freunden is one of my favourite websites, I read it like a nerd and am usually deeply inspired. They printed a book – maybe a great gift for Christmas? I would love one ;)

“Finally we can deliver the good news that our first book ‘Freunde von Freunden Berlin’ is available in stores across Europe today. Since the first portraits for the project were produced back in 2009, we always thought about the idea of publishing a book one day. Christian Boros and his publishing house Distanz gave us this opportunity and we couldn’t be happier with the printed outcome.

Making a book that lives up to the expectations of our website was a big challenge, but with the support of such a strong team and a collective effort, it seems to us, almost anything is possible in the future. In our book we introduce a selection of 28 portraits with over 550 pictures, combining exclusive guests such as Peter Raue, Wibke Deertz, Nomad, Karen and Christian Boros, Kaos and Karena Schuessler with some excerpts from current portraits on the magazine such as Sarah Illenberger, Malin Elmlid and Kirsten Hermann. Almost the whole picture selection is new and hasn’t been published before. Although we love all our guests alike, we couldn’t fit all 75 portraits in the book, we hope you understand.

We’re absolutely excited to present this book to all our readers across the world, soon in stores in the UK and USA as well. A big thank you again to all the people involved and all the guests who supported us in the last two years. It has been an absolute blast and we look forward to lots of new challenges coming up in the future. We just came back from productions in London, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Istanbul and New York City and are excited to introduce more cities and countries soon. Currently working on our iPad App.

Please find some more information and an exclusive preview of the book here and you can also officially purchase it on the Distanz webpage.”

Slow travel Berlin

I like this idea...

Started in 2010 by travel journalist and photographer Paul Sullivan, Slow Travel Berlin emphasizes a “less is more” instead of fast is better” ethos when it comes to travel. Offering an insider’s view and founded on the principles of a leisurely pace and a closer look, Slow Travel lets Berlin visitors dig beneath the city’s surface and love the city like a local.”

While I visited friends, Des went to check out Berlin and took some awesome black and white shots. More here.

Goethe & Co.

Germany is … busy. I went to see as many friends as possible in Hannover, Weimar and Jena and had awesome blast-from-the-past-times. My recommendation to you is to watch the new movie out “Goethe”. It is excellent and I was so fortunate to watch it in the Goethe-town Weimar. Also, Desmond went to Berlin and watched people there, check it out here.
