I love to travel, to doing art and to practice yoga. Now, I made my favorites to my profession. I’m traveling a lot while practicing yoga and doing arts. I‘m offering workshops in yoga and meditation and still learning a lot when Í’m taking part in other workshops. I‘m also doing a lot of arts: making sculptures, painting, sketching, also doing wall-paintings (in hostels and retreats). While traveling It feels like I‘m getting in my whole power and self-awareness. So I try to mix my loves and wishes.

Hey, I am Maxi, 30, and I love playing drums and akkordeon, nature, backpacking, gardening, singing and dancing. I would love to get in touch with local people instead of just traveling lonely from spot to spot. My apartment lays in the middle of the woods, offers a big terrace to chillout and is still close to the city center.

Family travel experience

Berlin was an amazing city to visit if you are a big history nerd or want to experience a multitude of cultures and people. The food was pretty standard for a European city, the people were friendly and quick to help if you were stuck with any german translations

Berlin is very safe. I traveled solo, walked around late at night, and went everywhere, with no problems at all.

Berlin is a great city to explore! There is always something to do, even at night. Have a look at Eventbrite to find something fun to do every evening! You are always able to go anywhere in the city, trains, buses etc operate day and night.

Solo travel experience

When I went last year I got catcalled a lot, and stared at a lot, even in big groups with guys, and in both tourist and non-tourist areas. It felt safe generally as there were lots of people around. Still had a really good time.

Solo travel experience

I found Berlin one of the most pleasant places I’ve ever been - excellent transport that is open late and very respectful people. One of my favorite places to travel. Lots of areas seem really dark and scary at night but overall an amazing vibe.

Solo travel experience

I found the hop-on/hop-off bus to be an excellent way to explore the city, and I particularly enjoyed the boat ride near the main train station. I also had a fantastic time wandering around Charlottenburg Palace. The Museum Island is packed with fascinating museums, and while it's possible to get a day pass to all of them, I wouldn't recommend trying to visit them all as it can be overwhelming.

Solo travel experience

I stayed a week in Berlin, could have easily stayed longer. There is so much to do there. I love history. Brandenburg Gate was a must see for me. Loved the DDR museum, Berlin Catherdral, Television tower has great views of the city (as does the Reichstag and Berlin cathedral) Museum Island was worth a visit, even if you don’t go inside the museums it’s is a beautiful area to walk around.

Solo travel experience

Berlin is chock full of history. I did three nights there and wish I had more. Highlights were obvious things like Brandenburg Gate, holocaust memorial, topography of terror, west side gallery, Berlin wall memorial. The cold war museum was fabulous. I took a trip out to Potsdam which was beautiful and stopped at Wansee on the way back at the haus der Wannsee konferenz which is fascinating for WWII history. Then there's strolling through Kreuzberg, the amazing food. Its a very vibrant city.
